D’banj Slapped His Manager Bankuli, “Working With D’Banj Is As Tough As Hell” – Insiders

Some weeks ago, Abisagboola Oluseun John aka Bankuli, the manager of Nigerian music star Dapo Oyebanjo popularly called D’banj was rumoured to have been fired by the star.

Bankuli has broken his silence on this ongoing rumour.
Below is what D’banj ex-manager said;

“D’Banj didn’t fire me. I just decided to move on. I was shocked when I read that he fired me. Whoever leaked that story was just being malicious,”

Though Bankuli didn’t reveal whether he was slapped or not, a source very close to him claims D’banj is a very tough person to work with.

Here what the source said below;

“Bankuli actually left for Paris after the Koko concert in December and D’Banj wasn’t aware of the trip to Paris to drop adlibs on Kanye’s next album. This got D’Banj angry. He slapped Bankuli and subsequently fired him,”.

But Bankuli denied having a heated argument with D’Banj. He also denied travelling to Paris to work with Kanye West without D’Banj’s consent.

Another source said Bankuli actually walked away after enduring a series of indignities from the artiste.
“Bankuli showed courage and walked away because I believe he had had enough. Working with D’Banj is as tough as hell.
Do you know that everybody that works with Baba (D’Banj) always gets tired of him and walks away? Fired him? No,” the source said. Naija Gists

Chris Brown Talks About His ‘Beating up’ Rihanna And Violent Personality

 

The silent Chris Brown has come out to talk about the ugly incident that occurred between he and Rihanna as well as other issues:

According to GWL:
Tuesday morning, the R&B singer phoned into Ryan Seacrest to talk about his current projects and surprisingly admits to his character flaws, and being arrogant and hotheaded when the infamous fight went down.

Here’s what he told Seacrest:

“People are entitled to their opinions. I can’t go around blaming. It’s all about my responsibility and me growing up as a man.
“So I think now that I’m becoming older, and trying to mature in this life under the public eye at all times, I have to focus on doing the right thing and being more of a humble individual.”
“I just tried my best to be the best man I could be over the years and just show her how remorseful and sorry I was for the incident and that time was probably the worst part of my life and being that she has and she’s a wonderful person I’m eternally grateful and thankful,” Brown said.
He also chatted about his recent altercation with a valet attendant outside a charity event over a $10 fee in

Los Angeles, saying:

“I actually gave the valet $100 before heading into the bowling alley. So when I came out, the argument started,…and I told myself I have to just shut up and be like, ‘Security go get the keys!’ I’ll be by the car.”
He then talked about being changed man:

“Being at that young age, I can tell you I was arrogant and definitely hotheaded. Everybody has a temper, but for me it was not knowing how to control it when I thought I had the world in my hands.”

Chris also spoke about his current relationship with Rihanna:

“It’s still like we’re kids. I try not to be too grown and be like, ‘Lets have candlelight dinner every night.’ I try to make sure everything is fun. It has to be fun and it has to be genuine.”
