“’Don’t do music is what my father told me”; He’s not proud of me – D’banj

download (3)So many entertainment celebrities have their different stories to tell on how their parents view their chosen careers. Nigerian music star, D’banj is not left out in the debate as he has revealed that his father isn’t overjoyed about his music career.

Even though the Nigerian star enjoyed international success with his 2012 smash hit Oliver Twist and has sold over 11 million albums in his career, he revealed that his dad remains concerned that a career in music isn’t sustainable.

“’Don’t do music’ is what my father told me,” D’banj narrated in a recent interview.

“Even now, he says to me: ‘Are you sure this music thing is right for you?’”

Asked what career path his father would have preferred for him he said “Any other thing apart from music! My father is so quiet and reserved, whereas music puts you right out there.

“He knows that fame can destroy things and he worries about me sustaining success.

“He also says: ‘When I was your age, I was married and I already had you! When are you going to settle down?’’

“I think I want to get a Grammy first! But if an angel should pass, I might just be distracted!”
