D’banj’s hit single, “Oliver Twist” has inspired the first ever Afrobeat musical in London’s prestigious West End.
The theatre production, which is based and named after his 2011 song, follows a promiscuous young man who is haunted by his past after meeting a certain girl.
The ‘Oliva Tweest’ musical will take place at the Lyric Theatre on 15 April.
NEW MUSIC: D’banj & Fally Ipupa - Nous Le Meilleurs (We The Best)

TODAY’S CLASSIC TUNE: D’Banj - Why Me?
G.O.O.D. Music’s soon-to-be-released album ‘Cruel Summer’ was released yesterday, containing a track featuring Nigeria’s very own D’Banj who is the first, and only, African artist to be signed to the label.
We thought we’d resurrect one of his classic hits as our classic tune for today to see just how far he’s progressed as an artist.
NEW MUSIC: D’Banj - Oyato
Delivering another hit, here’s the brand new single from G.O.O.D. Music-signed Nigerian kokomaster and all-round superstar, D’Banj.
The biggest star in Afrobeats has entered the UK top 10 with his hit Oliver Twist. Caspar Llewellyn Smith talks to him about Kanye West, takes a tour of the nightlife scene in Lagos with his peers, and asks – are we ready for Africa’s first musical superstar*?
*”Africa’s first musical superstar?” Really, Guardian?
NEW MUSIC: D’Banj & Sarkodie - Come To Me
Absolutely killer track from Nigeria’s Kokomaster king and Ghana’s premier rapper.
Kanye West’s short film Cruel Summer that was filmed in Qatar, recently premiered at the Cannes Film Festival in France.
The film stars most of the G.O.O.D. Music artist family including Nigerian Kokomaster D’Banj!
The protagonist in the film is played by Scott Mescudi (bka Kid Cudi) as a high-end sports car thief who falls in love with a blind Arab princess. However, before the pair are given her father’s blessing to marry, Mescudi’s character must metaphorically make the girl ‘see’.
