Meet D’Banj’s New Manager, Tonya Merritt

TONYA-2

For a while now, it’s been practically impossible to reach out to Koko master, D’Banj.
This is because the multiple award winning pop star has not made details of his management available to people and the fact that the exit of his last manager, Tony Nwakalor was done on a low key.

 Our investigations have however revealed that D’banj has really parted ways with Tony Nwakalor and his new manager is an American-based woman who goes by the name, Tonya Merritt while Davido’s former manager, Asa Asika currently represents D’Banj here in Nigeria.

 Confirming Tonya Merritt as his new manager, D’Banj shared a picture of himself, Tonya Merritt and renowned photographer, Reza with the caption: ‘Reza the Great National Geographic Fellow and my manager, Tonya Merritt, successful day guys.’

 In one of D’Banj’s instagram posts yesterday: He wrote; ‘Reza the Great National Geographic Fellow and my manager@tonyamerritt @TEDxWBG successful day guys’

 In a tweet dated August 15, 2014, D’Banj had made a subtle introduction of Tonya when he shared a picture of her with the caption: ‘EJA NLA and the best and rarest Agent in the World. Mamalet of Life Tonya Merritt the one who gets me…lol! God bless you!.’

 In one of Tonya’s tweets dated May 19, 2013, she also shared a picture of D’Banj cuddling her with the caption, ‘Best client and friend in the whole wide world. D’banj Rocked Durban tonight with Snoop Lion.’

 Who is Tonya Merritt

 Based in Atlanta Georgia, Tonya Merritt is an international business consultant, publicist and booking agent. Her relationship with D’Banj dates back to several years ago and her influence in D’Banj’s career has been huge even when he doesn’t seem to be doing much in the country.

 She has been the one pulling the strings and getting D’Banj a number of international deals, shows, collabos and endorsements. She was instrumental in his collaborations with Snoop Lion, she pulled the strings that got Giuseppe Zannoti to present D’banj with a custom made sneakers and was also responsible for the D’Banj-Kenya Monroe aside many others.

 In the beginning, Tonya’s job was limited to managing D’banj’s international bookings and deals, but now she has assumed full custody of his entire management. She launched her company, Tonya Merritt Group in Nigeria back in 2006 and in her career as an international agent, she has worked with super stars like Trey Songz, Amber Rose, Snoop Lion and many more.

He’s wealthy enough to book every table in any restaurant of his choosing if he wants to dine out in private, and judging by the empty chairs surrounding Roman Abramovich on Monday afternoon it looked as if he’d done just that. Indeed, it was quiet enough to hear a rouble drop when as the Russian oligarch enjoyed a lunch date with partner Dasha Zhukova at Puny restaurant during their current stay in picturesque Italian coastal town Portofino. The couple were spotted as they surveyed their menus in silence before a waiter approached and obligingly took their order. Someone's pleased: Roman Abramovich smiles broadly as he relaxes in an empty Portofino restaurant with Dasha Zhukova The good life: Roman sits with a large glass of red wine in front of him on the table while his model girlfriend checks the menu Giving orders: A restaurant employee takes their food orders With a glass of red wine in front of him, Chelsea owner Roman looked relaxed in a short sleeve

It's one of the biggest social events on the A-list calendar, so the pressure is on for the A-list to shine at the Golden Globes.   And while Margot Robbie, Zooey Deschanel and Anna Gunn lit up the red carpet, leading the best-dressed pack in off-white, not everyone got it quite right. Sandra Bullock,  usually so fashion-forward,   made a rare misstep at this year's event in an unflattering pink, blue and black color block gown and messy side ponytail but, way out in front of the worst-dressed pack, Lady Victoria Hervey wore a dress that made her resemble a reject from an X-rated version of Dancing On Ice. Paula Patton, Julia Roberts and Jennifer Lawrence also turned heads for all the wrong reasons. Here FEMAIL round up the best and the very worst fashion of the 71st annual Golden Globes awards.

25 year old Brazilian model Dai Macedo from the central state of Goia beat 26 other contestants to win the 2013 Miss Bum Bum contest which is quite popular in Brazil. Dai impressed judges with her 42in derrière and went home with 5,000 reais ($2,100). She will also make a lot of money in advertising contracts. You would expect the butt that won her the contest to be 100% natural but it's not. "It isn't 100% natural. I had a butt lift. I always had a large backside but liposuction improved it,' Dai said.  SEE MORE PICTURES FROM OTHER CONTESTANTS Share 2 2 Share 0 3 Share 0 4 Share 1 5 Share 0 6 Share 0 7 Share 1 8 Share 0 9 Share 0 10 Share 0 11 Share 0 12 Share 0 13 Share 0 14 Share 0 15 Share 0 16 Share 0 17 Share 0 18 Share 0 19 Share 0 20 Share 0
