This news was first shared by Instablog9ja who reported on their social media accounts that the singer’s deal with Heritage bank, which he signed only a few days ago on his fortieth birthday, has been cancelled.
They wrote: “Unconfirmed reports reaching us suggest that Heritage Bank has suspended their ambassadorship at deal with D’Banj over the alleged rape case. Details soon.”
This is coming after D’banj trended on Twitter for his alleged maltreatment of his rape accuser, Seyitan. Twitter feminists and well-meaning Nigerians shared information that the singer arrested her and her mother and prevented them from seeing their lawyers.
Shortly after these allegations were shared, tweets promoting D’banj’s music were shared on Seyitan’s Twitter account. Read the full details here.
Nigerians have now taken to social media to react to the unconfirmed rumours with many saying that D’banj should not be judged without actually going to court.
See some reactions below.
At the end of the day, if Dbanj happens to be innocent, I hope you'll be able to forgive yourself for crucifying him too fast just coz you were too dumb to think and use your head but preferred to listen "they said they said" and act on emotions #DbanjSuspended

#DbanjSuspended this stupid idea of believing what ever a woman says expecially when it has to do with rape allegations is a bad culture from the western world to Africa, it would be proper for a competent court to find him guilty before all this nonsense.

Whether or not Dbanj is guilty of the accusations leveled against him, I honestly think the manner in which he handled it was careless.
Heritage Bank is absolutely justified for wanting to dissociate themselves from this drama.#DbanjSuspended pic.twitter.com/qKY1Umkyjy

You really can't blame Heritage bank. The rape allegation, the police bullying, the deleted tweets & the subsequent tweets that followed
Jes too messy to be associated with. But I believe time will vindicate the just.#DbanjSuspended pic.twitter.com/L0MDi5dJ8R

Heritage bank cutting ties with Dbanj should teach you a lesson that some people don't really care about you, they are just sticking with you cos they benefit from you and once they sense that things are not going well for you, they will jump bus.. #DbanjSuspended pic.twitter.com/UJc0DNHHUE

Heritage Bank will be justified if this is true. D’banj handled the case in a very bad way regardless of his guilt or lack of.
