Veteran Afrobeats icon, D’banj, has revealed plans for an upcoming joint tour with fellow music legends 2Baba (formerly 2Face Idibia) and Timaya.
In a recent interview with Adesope Live in London, D’banj confirmed that discussions with his colleagues are underway and that the long-anticipated tour will soon become a reality.
“I was speaking with Timaya the other day and he was like, ‘Banger, it’s okay, you’ve entrepreneur enough. It’s time to come out.’ And I said the same thing. I’m speaking to 2Face as well. 2Face was telling me – let’s go on a tour together,” D’banj said.
He noted that all three artists have extensive discographies with timeless hits that shaped the Nigerian and African music scene, making this collaboration a highly anticipated event for fans worldwide.
In addition to the tour announcement, D’banj disclosed that he and 2Baba have collaborated on a new track titled ‘Feeling Good’, set for release soon.
Reflecting on Afrobeats’ global success, D’banj credited the African diaspora for supporting the genre’s meteoric rise.
“Now everybody is Afrobeats, everybody is African. But I remember when in this London it was not that great for you to say you are a Nigerian. We all wanted to be Jamaicans,” he shared.
D’banj also hinted that the tour’s theme may be centered around gratitude, marking nearly two decades of their collective impact on African music.
