Dwayne Bravo, also known as DJ Bravo, couldn’t control his excitement when his song, ‘Champion’, crossed 30 million views on YouTube. While the West Indies cricketer is known for his all-around performance on-field, his dynamic personality off the field has garnered equal attention. The song, launched in March earlier this year, became an instant hit among the youth. Celebrating the achievement, DJ thanked his fans on Twitter.
