Dbanj Appreciates Everyone for the Love and Support After Son’s Death as He Returns to Social Media
Nigerian musician, Dbanj who lost his one year old son in June has sent out an appreciation message to people who stood by him in the last couple of weeks.
Dbanj who returned to social media today, weeks after his son’s death, wrote about how the past few weeks have been trying for him.
Sharing a picture of himself in a cathedral, he wrote;
‘The past few weeks have been incredibly trying and difficult, but God’s love has kept me and my family going. I can’t thank my team enough and the incredible love from you all. May God keep us all. #StrongerTogether’…
Few weeks ago, he also sent out an appreciation message to everyone that supported him and his family through the trying period.
Dbanj is also set to perform at the Global Citizen movement to eradicate poverty festival in Johannesburg, to mark 100 years since Nelson Mandela’s birth.
Beyonce and Jay-Z will will headline the music at the FNB Stadium alongside several other stars: Coldplay frontman Chris Martin, English singer-songwriter Ed Sheeran, Pearl Jam singer Eddie Vedder, hit pop producer Pharrell Williams and R&B chart-topper Usher.
The December 2 event, which will be internationally broadcast, will celebrate the late anti-apartheid icon and draw a number of leaders in an attempt to throw a spotlight on fledging efforts to eradicate the world’s worst poverty, Global Citizen announced Monday.
The festival will also feature some of the continent’s most popular musicians including South African hip-hop producer Cassper Nyovest and Nigerian artists Wizkid, and Femi Kuti, who is the son of Afrobeat legend Fela Kuti.
Global Citizen said it hoped that the run-up to the festival would raise commitments of $1 billion to help the world’s poorest, with half of the amount aimed at women and girls.
Global Citizen has held festivals since 2012 in New York’s Central Park on the sidelines of the annual UN General Assembly to rally support, especially among young people, in the fight against poverty. The group has since branched out overseas with seminars and music in India, Germany and elsewhere.
Hugh Evans, the founder and CEO of the movement, said he expected the Johannesburg festival to be the biggest Global Citizen festival ever in terms of reach, symbolism and lineup.
