He further dedicated the plaque to the renowned clergyman, igniting a roar of cheers from the congregation.

In a previous report, the singer revealed that his legal team approached American music superstar Marc Anthony regarding the unauthorised sample of his 2012 hit song Oliver Twist.
In an interview with Adesope Live, D'banj revealed that Marc Anthony sampled Oliver Twist in the title track of his 2024 album, Muevense, without first obtaining permission or clearing the rights
While expressing appreciation for Anthony, the Nigerian star emphasised the need to address the situation properly, given the commercial nature of the music industry.

"I know this is long ago and he is building his relationship with God more deliberately now. But it was good that the pastor clarified God’s standards after this. And it also makes sense now why some churches now ask to hear your testimonies before giving people mic. Because some people would really come thank God for what God had nothing to do with."

"He came to share testimony and we couldn’t even (technically, lol) play his song in school then."

"Lool I remember this day mehn 😂 also you should post the Papa’s reaction and response to the testimony for balance sha."
