D’banj Faces Fresh Exploitation Claims from Mr Real

Singer Mr Real, born Okafor Uchenna Victor, has come forward with explosive accusations against industry heavyweight D’banj, real name Oladapo Daniel Oyebanjo. This isn't just another fleeting spat, it's a tale of alleged betrayal that has fans buzzing and insiders whispering.

The drama unfolded on September 29, 2025, during a candid interview where Mr Real didn't mince words. "D’banj ripped me. No be say allegedly, he did," he declared emphatically. At the heart of the claims is their 2018 hit "Issa Banger," a track that propelled both artists but, according to Mr Real, left him with crumbs.

For two years, Mr Real served as an ambassador for D’banj’s CREAM platform, a talent discovery initiative. He was paraded at events, featured in promotions, and even collaborated on music. Yet, he alleges the rewards were shockingly meager, just $500 in total. "You can’t be with a man for two years and all you gain is $500. What kind of wickedness and selfishness is that?" Mr Real lamented, his voice laced with raw frustration.

One particularly stinging detail involves a car supposedly gifted to D’banj with instructions to pass it to Mr Real. Instead, it gathered dust in a parking lot while Mr Real hustled via Uber, even for visits to D’banj’s home. No shares from "Issa Banger" proceeds, no industry hookups, nothing but empty promises, he claims.

This echoes Mr Real's 2023 complaints, where he accused D’banj of unfulfilled financial pledges. Back then, it fizzled out, but this time, social media is ablaze. Fans are divided: some slam D’banj as a "user," citing similar stories from others, while skeptics demand proof of contracts. "Why is it always D’banj?" one X user quipped, hinting at a pattern.

As of September 30, 2025, D’banj remains silent, leaving room for speculation. Is this a genuine cry for justice or sour grapes? In an industry rife with uneven power dynamics, Mr Real's story spotlights the darker side of stardom where ambition meets exploitation.

The fallout could ripple wider, prompting calls for better artist protections. For now, the beat goes on, but the harmony is shattered. Stay tuned as this saga unfolds.
