Kanye West surprised thousands of fans at the Hammersmith Apollo last night (Monday, August 31st) when he turned up to perform his hit All Of The Lights with his new G.O.O.D Music signing, D’Banj.
The rapper, who announced the partnership with the Nigerian pop artist in June, capped off the brief cameo appearance by giving D’Banj a chain, to the delight of the cheering crowd.
The show, which also featured fellow Afro-pop acts Don Jazzy, Wande Coal, Dr Sid, D’Prince and K-Switch (known collectively as Mo’Hits) was the finale in a two-day Afrobeats festival, celebrating artists from Africa.
