Oladapo Olaitan ‘Dagrin’ Olaonipekun who is credited for popularising Yoruba rap music died in the early hours of April 22, 2010 from injures he sustained in a lone accident in front of Alakara Police Station, off Agege Motor Road, Mushin, Lagos on April 14.
He was aged, 22.
However, seven years after, Nigerians are still speaking fondly of him.
Though he lived a short life, his style of rap is still influencing the music scene.
Artistes like Olamide, lil Kesh, Phyno, Reminisce and many others are some of the best examples of Dagrin’s influence on the Nigerian rap scene.
Here are some of the best tweets and reactions from the social media including one from the winner of the recently concluded Big Brother Naija reality TV show.
