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.
On 22 April 2025, performed at the sold-out benefit concert called Solidarité Congo at the Accor Arena.
