“This has been the best two years of my life,” he said.Mr. Adibua also challenged the Oliver Twist singer onthe rumour that he was having trouble retaining staffand was being sued by an unnamed businessman whom Dbanj owed loads of money.
Dbanj said he still worked with his staff and on thealleged court case: “My lawyers told me not to sayanything since it’s allegedly a rumour,” he said. “It’sso painful that people know you are such a hugebrand that God has blessed, and they feel the bestthing to do is defamation of character.
