DBanj Slams Naysayers, Thanks Fan Who Lists His 2014 Achievements

Dbanj, once touted as one of Nigeria's afri-hiphop pioneers, semingly had his profile plummet this year after he split with former partner and hitmaker, Don Jazzy. The music producer went on to form his own label with Tiwa Savage, D'Prince, Dr. Sid and others. Dbanj continued solo for a while and then also formed his label, Lee Records.

However, many commentators insist that he is not doing as well as Don Jazzy and that the only way Dbanj can climb back into the consciousness of Nigerian music afficionados is to get back with the producer. Dbanj's fans went on the same train of thought today after he shared the picture below.

Man's Open Letter To Ex-wife About Their Divorce Goes Viral

29-year-old divorcee, Anthony D'Ambrosio's deeply personal essay titled 'To my ex-wife: I wish I would have held you tighter' published as part of APP.com's new relationship series has gone viral. But not everyone has received it positively, as comments on the post are divided, and a Gawker columnist bashes the aspiring writer.

Some readers on the post have praised the writer's honesty and lingering love for his ex while others question why he had to make the issues with his ex-wife public.

You see, last month, D'Ambrosio wrote another piece about cheating which also went viral, and in a follow-up Q&A he had written briefly about his past marriage and divorce, saying he would always keep it private out of respect for his ex-wife. That is why many do not understand this new open letter.
