Nigerian rap star, Oladapo Olaitan Olaonipekun, popularly known as Dagrin, may have passed away, but his legacy continues to live on. Dagrin tragically died in an auto crash in April 2010.
Interestingly, 15 years after his shocking death, renowned rapper, Olamide (Olamide Gbenga Adedeji) has revealed that the late indigenous hip-hop icon had a profound impact on his music career.
Olamide made the revelation during a recent interview.
Olamide said; “Dagrin’s ‘C.E.O’ album is a timeless project. That’s the only rap album almost everybody in the south west can sing word for word. Dagrin influenced a lot of rappers, whenever we need motivation, we would go and listen to his album.”
