In September, D’banj said, “Being a father is very humbling. I have always acted as a father to a lot of young artistes from the days of Mo Hits but now, I have a child of my own. When he was born, I was in the hospital and as I held his hands, it made me realise that to whom much is given, much is expected.” He continued, “This is someone’s life that I am responsible for. It is not just about fatherhood but now I have a family. Before I became a family man, I took decisions without looking back. I could decide to sleep on the Mainland; I could decide to chill with my friends. But now, I have responsibilities.”
CNN.com reports he is now flying back to Nigeria to be with his wife of two years, Lineo Kilgrow.
Our condolences go out to everyone affected by this tragedy.
