D’banj’s “Mobolowowon” is a classic that defined an era, a song about perseverance, struggle, and doing whatever it takes to make it. The phrase “mobolowowon” means “whatever it takes”, and that perfectly captures the essence of the track.
The song tells the story of D’banj’s rise to fame and success, beginning with an introduction to himself and his Jamaican nickname, Ski’banj.
He describes his journey from humble beginnings in Nigeria to his travels to London, talking about challenges he faced, including people who doubted him and situations where he felt like a fool, while expressing gratitude to God for always being there for him.
