In what is being described as a landmark moment for the African luxury automotive scene, Nigerian music icon D’banj (Oladapo Daniel Oyebanjo) has become the first individual in Nigeria and across the continent to take delivery of the ultra-premium Zeekr 9X Ultra.
A Historic Delivery
The acquisition of the high-end vehicle, valued at an estimated ₦350 million, was marked by a high-profile handover ceremony. The delivery was personally overseen by Rebecca Jia Lee, the CEO/Managing Director of the brand’s regional operations, who presented the keys to the celebrated Afrobeats star.
Features of the Zeekr 9X Ultra
The Zeekr 9X Ultra is regarded as one of the most sophisticated luxury vehicles currently on the global market. It is characterized by:
- Futuristic Design: A sleek, high-concept aesthetic that separates it from traditional luxury sedans.
- Elite Comfort: An interior designed for maximum privacy and luxury, featuring state-of-the-art materials and climate control.
- Cutting-Edge Technology: Integration of advanced AI-driven features and autonomous driving capabilities.
A Trailblazing Move
Known for his affinity for innovation and high-end lifestyle, D’banj’s latest purchase reinforces his reputation as a trendsetter within the Nigerian entertainment industry. By becoming the first African owner of the 9X Ultra, the “Oliver Twist” singer is credited with introducing the prestigious Zeekr luxury brand to the continent’s elite automotive market.
Luxury Season for Afrobeats Stars
Industry observers have noted that D’banj’s purchase comes amid a “luxury season” for Nigerian music superstars. With recent high-profile acquisitions by artists like Davido and Burna Boy, D’banj’s move into the futuristic electric/luxury space with Zeekr signals a shift toward tech-forward and exclusive global brands.
