As 2Baba turns 50, tributes are pouring in from across the entertainment world—but none more heartfelt than the one from fellow music heavyweight Dbanj. The Kokomaster took to Instagram to honour his longtime friend and colleague, calling him a legend, a brother, and a cultural ancestor whose impact on Afrobeats remains unmatched.
The post, which featured a photo of the two together, was more than just birthday wishes—it was a salute to legacy. Dbanj praised 2Baba’s enduring relevance and offered prayers for continued success, describing him as a “bad sharp guy” whose music has stood the test of time.
Their bond goes beyond industry camaraderie. Earlier this year, the duo shared a joyful moment online when 2Baba and his then-fiancée surprised Dbanj at home. The video, which showed the two artists embracing and laughing, reminded fans of the deep friendship that has spanned decades.
Dbanj himself has been in a reflective mood, recently marking 20 years in the music industry. His reunion with Don Jazzy to revisit their 2008 classic, The Entertainer, sparked excitement across social media. He’s also shared throwback photos and tributes to Don Jazzy, calling him a lifelong brother and creative partner.
As 2Baba celebrates his golden jubilee, Dbanj’s tribute stands out—not just for its warmth, but for its reminder that in an industry often defined by rivalry, some relationships are built to last. Together, they represent two pillars of Nigerian music whose influence continues to shape the sound and spirit of Afrobeats.
