Nigerian rapper, Oladapo Olaitan Olaonipekun better known as Dagrin, was one promising entertainer who was arguably one of the best during his time.
However, his time on earth came to an end shortly after he attained fame.
The Pon Pon Pon crooner was regarded as the king of the street by many and others even argued that he served as an inspiration and paved the way for other Yoruba rappers in the industry. Dagrin gave up the ghost on April 22, 2010, after he was involved in a ghastly motor accident where his car collided with a stationary trailer. The accident reportedly happened around Alakara Police Station, off Agege Motor road, Mushin, Lagos. Despite Dagrin being in the industry for a relatively short time, his impact was felt and many Nigerians have trooped to social media to celebrate the legendary rapper nine years after his demise. Yakky, a friend of the late rapper who featured him in a song Gbadun You, reflected on his relationship with the Pon Pon Pon crooner. He described Dagrin as a rare raw talent who will be difficult to replace.
Other Nigerians on Twitter also praised the late rapper while others called the attention of the government to trucks still parked on the roadside nine years after it led to the death of an icon.
