If you’ve been following Nigeria’s entertainment wave, then you’ve likely come across Wanni and Handi, the energetic twin sisters from Kaduna who have lit up dance floors and reality TV screens alike. Their rise from local gigs to national fame as DJs and TV personalities reflects both their talent and drive, setting them apart in a fast-paced industry.
Early Life and Education
Born on December 10, 1996, in Kaduna State, Wanni and Handi Danbaki were raised in a close-knit family known for strong values and educational commitment. Their parents, Mr. and Mrs. Danbaki, ensured the girls received a solid foundation, dividing their upbringing between Kaduna and Lagos.
Both sisters studied Mass Communication at Ahmadu Bello University. While in school, they were active in extracurricular activities, including dance, singing, and sports, early signs of the passion that would later define their careers.
Path to DJing
Their love for music started young. As children, they would save their lunch money to buy the latest DJ mixtapes. Over time, that curiosity turned into hands-on experience, with Handi experimenting with DJ software at community events. In 2021, the twins officially entered the DJ industry and began performing at parties and clubs.
Their sets blend different genres, reflecting their ability to read the room and keep the energy alive. Known for their smooth transitions and synchronized stage chemistry, Wanni and Handi quickly built a fan base that appreciated not just their music but also their presence.
Rise to Fame
The turning point in their career came in 2024, when they joined the cast of Big Brother Naija: No Loose Guard. Their time on the show brought them nationwide visibility and showcased their personalities, Wanni being the more outspoken twin, and Handi the quieter, more reserved one. Their on-screen presence added to their public appeal and opened up new opportunities within the entertainment industry.
In addition to DJing, the twins have also worked as television presenters, further expanding their reach and credibility within Nigerian media.
Personal Life
Wanni’s personal life has received public attention, especially due to her past relationship with Sir Dee, a former contestant from the Big Brother Naija “Pepper Dem” season. The relationship lasted four years before ending over differing long-term goals. Though Wanni valued the relationship, she wasn’t ready to commit to marriage. She’s currently single but has developed a connection with Shaun, a current housemate in the “No Loose Guard” season.
Handi, on the other hand, has remained focused on her career. She has not been romantically linked with anyone from the show and prefers to keep her private life out of the spotlight.
Net Worth and Career Impact
Thanks to consistent performances, reality TV exposure, and content production, Wanni and Handi have built a combined net worth of $5 million. Their earnings come from DJ bookings, event appearances, brand deals, and music-related projects. Their journey reflects how focused branding and authenticity can turn local recognition into national success.
