D'banj Will Make His Nollywood Debut in Jadesola Osiberu's 'Sugar Rush'

Over the past few years, Nigerian artist D'banj has been on somewhat of a hiatus. Following the success of his smash hit "Oliver Twist" from the 2017 album King Don Come, he admittedly flew under the radar for a while. In 2018, he returned to the music scene with a few tracks including "Something for Something", a collaboration he did with South African artist Cassper Nyovest, and "Shake It", a track he hopped onto with Tiwa Savage.

More recently this year, D'banj released the vibrant track "Shy" and went on to give a stellar performance at the inaugural edition of the Afro Nation Festival in Portugal. Now it seems that the artist is looking to flex his acting muscles in his debut role in Nigerian filmmaker Jadesola Osiberu's Sugar Rush.

Osiberu took to Instagram to announce her new project and some of the talent she's rounded up for it. D'banj will star in the film alongside Adesua Etomi, Bisola Aiyeola and Omoni Oboli. Whilst details of the film's storyline are yet to be revealed, it is reported that the film will be hitting the big screen this coming Christmas. No stranger to producing blockbuster hits within Nollywood, Osiberu was behind the 2017 romantic comedy Isoken as well as local Nigerian television shows Rumor Has It and Gidi Up.
