Introduction

Dadju Alimasi Nsungula (French pronunciation: [dadʒu dʒuna ɛnsunɡula]; born 2 May 1991), better known by the mononym Dadju or at times Prince Dadj, is a Congolese-French singer. He was signed to the label Wati B and in 2017 signed with Polydor Records of Universal Music Group. He was a member of the musical formation Shin Sekaï alongside rapper Abou Tall from 2012 to 2016. The duo was part of the label Wati B and released the album Indéfini. The duo announced that they were breaking up so they can each follow solo careers. Dadju released his solo album Gentleman 2.0 in 2017.

Personal life

Dadju comes from a musical family. His father is Djanana Djuna, a Congolese vocalist of Papa Wemba's band. His half-brother is Gims, a famous solo singer and ex-member of the successful French rap group Sexion d'Assaut, a major act under the music label Wati B. His other brothers Bedjik and Xgangs are also rappers in their own right.

In 2016, he got married and had a daughter a few months later. He welcomed a baby boy in 2020.
