LadybrilleNigeria just received the exclusive from the Chris Aire camp that MTV Africa & Europe Music Awards winner D’Banj aka “Kokomaster” and Grammy Award Winner Robin Thicke will provide musical performances for the night at the “Chris Aire Hollywood Glamour Collection featuring Nigeria’s Pride (Nigerian Gold & Gemstones).” Talk about up’ing the ante for what it appears will be a fun and exciting show!

Since 2007, D’Banj has performed on even more platforms across Africa. This, however, will be his second performance in the USA and this time he gets to share the stage with one of the best voices in the music business, Robin Thicke!

The simply beautiful and sexy R &B crooner’s ‘Lost Without U’ from Thicke’s2006 Evolution album remains an anthem in the hearts of millions. Thicke is also contributed his talent andsong writing skills to Usher’s 2004 “Confessions” album. An Album that won Thicke his first Grammys.
