D-Black has dismissed the “dbee” tag, saying his rise to success came out of hardship, not inherited privilege.
In a post on X, the Black Avenue Muzik boss revisited the turning point that reshaped his childhood, losing his father at just 12 years old. From then on, his mother shouldered the entire weight of raising the family, a fight for survival he credits for forging his drive.
“Town make hard oo. Or ebe me? Chale,” he posted, prompting one follower to label him a “dbee,” slang for a wealthy man’s child. D-Black responded bluntly, dismantling the myth:
“My popee lef we den I chop 12, e lef the world inside too den Vera sef no drop. So don’t talk what u uno know. Momee grind heavy watch we. Gods grace wey see we,” he wrote, paying tribute to his mother’s relentless effort and God’s favor.
He stressed that his journey was built on resilience rather than entitlement.
Outside the debate over his roots, D-Black has repeatedly voiced frustration with Ghana’s music institutions. In October 2024, he argued that, if ever made Tourism Minister, he would dissolve MUSIGA, GHAMRO, and COSGA, claiming the bodies have “lost their way” and need a total overhaul to truly serve artistes.
