Desmond Kwesi Blackmore, popularly known to his fans across the world as D-Black, has revealed exclusively to NEWS ONE that his �Vera� hit songs was inspired by a real life experience. ��Vera� is a true story about a girl who broke my heart. I might have exaggerated a bit in the song to make it more exciting but it�s a true story that I put on beat,� Black noted. The �Change Your Life� hit maker said even though the song brought back a lot of memories, he didn�t expect it to hit like it had. The �Vera� music video, which has attracted over 146,339 hits on video-sharing website YouTube, featured a giant lady with gargantuan buttocks whose body shape could not be avoided by any viewer. As to whether the girl who broke Black�s heart has the same body vitals as the girl in the music video still remains a mystery. �I didn't expect the �Vera� song to be that big of a hit though I promoted it hard. But since its release on the first day, the response has been really massive. It has truly opened a lot of doors for me,� D-Black explained. Since his nomination at the BET Awards in 2011, D-Black�s fan base has grown internationally. He has been performing and making appearances on events across the world. �I have performed on a lot of platforms and made various appearances in Africa and the response has been nothing short of spectacular.� D-Black�s �Vera� song has crossed a lot of borders on the African continent and is a hit everywhere. In 2012, his �Falling� video, which featured Nigerian rapper MoChedda, won him the Most Gifted African West Music Video award during the Channel O Music awards.
