Who is former child musician BB DJ?
BB DJ, currently known by his stage name Djey La Machine, is an Ivorian musician and dancer who rose to prominence in the 2000s. He was born on June 18, 1999.
He shot to fame as a child music star globally, including in Ghana, following the release of his hit single, Enfant poli, in 2004.

After his remarkable rise to fame, BB DJ disappeared from the spotlight, with rumours later emerging that he had passed away following an encounter with armed assailants.
However, Ivorian media reports indicated that the real reason behind his disappearance is that his father, who was his career manager, sadly passed away, which greatly affected the career of the young superstar.
He later re-emerged in the Ivorian music scene as a teenager and rebranded as Djey La Machine but has yet to recapture the success he achieved during his childhood.
