DNA Twins

Comprising of Blair and Clinton Roberts, evolved from Glo X-factor.

The boys, christened Blair and Clinton, were born on June 16 1996, to a polygamous family which had 11 other children. They attended Madonna Model Secondary School, Owerri, Imo State.

The public became aware of them after they decided to participate in the Abuja auditions of the 2013 Glo X-factor competition, just as they finished writing their secondary school final exams.
They were the second group to be evicted from the competition, following the exit of another group, The SmoothBoiz.

After their time on X-factor, they released their first single, titled ‘Mash Up Freestyle’, a combination of some top Nigerian songs, including ‘Soundtrack’ by May-D, and ‘Your Waist’ by Iyanya.

However, they were also in the news sometime last year after being kidnapped. N10m was requested as ransome. Fortunately, they regained freedom after paying a ransome (amount not disclosed).
