Not only did Darey spend his evening hobnobbing with colleagues, journalists, Radio DJs and industry top shots, he was also the centre of attraction as City People magazine hosted him to a grand reception in honour of his outstanding achievements in the Nigerian music industry. He was decorated with an award as The King of R&B in Nigeria.
The event was hosted by a team of comperes, including Tosyn Bucknor, Tee A, Ali Baba and Gbenga Adeyinka, who drilled and thrilled guests; taking them through series of jokes and comic sketches. Waje was the only artiste that performed at the event.
