DaGrin was said to have suffered an accident on his way from an assignment a week ago late at night after running into a truck on the road due to the lack of street lights. Since then, doctors have been battling to save his life.

But after all efforts by the doctors, DaGrin finally passed on leaving his entire family members and colleagues stunned and pained. He will be remembered for his outstanding and unique music style and he will be greatly missed.

  1. CEO, We love you but God loves you more. R.I.P Dagrin. Gone too soon but never to be forgotten. May God bless your soul.

  2. How can a finest musician of nigeria die of just common street light that shows that our government is incable to taking care of us the citizen…what a shame that this had to happen to us, a young star that is making nigeria proud had to die this way…now i can say this country is really cause and need God intervention if not that how we are going to keep dieing cos our leader are just eluting our money for their own purpose and not the purpose of the citizen..God help us

  3. Somebody to fix this our messed up country, no street light, no electricity, killings, no good hospitals, and other basic human requirement. If DaGrin was in America, he would still be alive today. May his soul rest in peace

  4. The lord knows everything,he knows the beginning to the end. the lord giveth and the lord taketh, glory be to God.R>I>P dagrin. we love you but Jesus loves you best.

  5. Dagrin reall fan

    Wish i can go with ya!!!!!but ototo la wa ye,love u my brother from another mother,Peace be unto u!!!!

  6. why luth???????????..r.i.p dagrin…we love u fam ur muzic lives on

    • you are the king of rapper miss you soo much dagirn omo ogun love you kiss you like you like cow meet rest in peaces…

  7. its really sad on how are talenting are been cut short.how i wish this is a rumour.

  8. I agree with u Nigeria is really caused wat a rubbish country i really wish am not from dat God forsaking country. That a soul was lost becos of common street light its really more than a shame. If it was to be in Germany this innocent young Man would still be alive by now. I pray that God purnish the President and the Governors if they refuse to change and make Nigeria a better place for the citizens. I really am lost of Worlds cos telling pple that am from this stupid country makes me ashamed were i live in Germany if there is an accident before u know it the Amblance is there and treatment starts from the accident scene but in Nigeria there is no Ambulance and most Doctors re not capable of diong their Jobs. I cant believe someboday stayed in the Hospital for one week and the Doctors cud not help i really am dissapionted. In Germany bevor someone is been accepted as a gualified Doctor to work in an Hospital the person must undergo a lot of Process to prove his capability. Certificate cannot be forged or bought like in Nigeria. Some just get the Post becos of their Father or watever. connections here and there they give unqualified pple job and the pple that re qualified do not get anything thats why all this re HAPPENING.

    God we destroy that country called nigeria very soon, because is just a country that is just there to destroy the world. But believe me in a momemt from now all this we are taliking about is all about the goverment of nigeria they are just there to destroy or kill the innocent one. no human right, your father or mother can wake up one day and decide for you how you will live your life and make sure he or she destroy or make your life missreable.

    This innocent boy´s blood will surely destroy or take all the governors and people in house of assembly,house of rep,the chieve judge,justice, president of nigeria.lt will never be well with them, even the pastors that called themselves men of God, they are counting millions of naira, but come to think of one pastor in nigeria can be able to set up a nice traffic light or nice international hospital for nigeria. When they are sick they we run to europe or american for a clean check up or treatment, but they abandoned even their church members in a state of difficult situation, and they will be using Gods name in vain. Believe me most of the pastors in nigeria are for devils and they will wroth in hell in jesus name l have prayed.

    And as for the nigerian goverment, God of europe and american and all over the world, will destroy them and if they don´t stop their wicked attitude to the citizens God we never give them peace, and as for the law makers in nigeria, everytime l see them in the N T A talking rubbish after sharing the trillions of naira behind the camera and they will come and be quoting laws that they dont even know about or maintaned God we punish you all in the court of law, all of them will definately dig their graves with their two hands.

    Well my pple take it easy may his soul rest in Peace

    How come heaven gets to keep the finest rappers?…IMAGINE…(PAC,BIGGY, DAGRIN…DEAD)…SOULJA BOY ,CURTIS JACKSON ,AJASA… ALIVE….

    Just knowing how much buzz the remours about DAGRIN’S death spread round the world like Staphylococcus.Shows how imporant and inspirational he was to the music industry and the world in general…

    There are a whole lot of people far older,richer,highly educated than O’GRIN that are still yet to acheive what he did during his short time with us…Like the old saying goes…LIFE IS NOT ABOUT THE AMOUNT OF BREATH YOU TAKE OR THE AMOUNT OF MONEY YOU MADE BUT ABOUT THE LIVES YOU TOUCHED.. ..O’GRIN live an exemplary life ..he kept it REEEEEAAAAAALLLLLL..

    O’GRIN

    You helped keep my (GHETTO DREAMS) alive.You gave me a reason to look forward to (EVERYDAY)..

    I hope that someday along the line Emi no ma lenu bi (PON PON PON)…

    With you true naija (SWAG),You showed me how to (MAKE DOE) doing what i love best..

    and true, true u gboro for (IGBORO) That’s why you remain the only rapper who could give the naija people (WHAT THEY WANT) ..Your entire album made the whole naija (Holla Holla)

    I (THANK GOD) to have lived during your lifetime..if it requires an (IDINLA) to bring you big.. be sure that the entire Naija ladies would die to drop theirs….

    May your soul R.I.P OLAITAN OLAONIPEKUN AKA DAGRIN AKA OMO OGUN,AKA LYRICAL WERE …AKA WHENEVA U WAN IT ..AKA JOOOR OOOO ..AKA BARRACK O’GRIN ..

    VOTE FOR ARTISTE OF THE YEAR – DAGRIN

  17. Ma role model as far as naija hip hop is concerned…DAGRIN..God knws best. You would be greatly missed…ati kekere ni mo tin k'ABC…Mo ti lo sodo lo fori mi pelu koin koin..emi lomo naa..DAGRIN..R.I.P..Fam.

My heart goes out to everyone who loves you, may God grant us the grace to reflect on our lives and to make changes where necessary, and to all Nigerian politicians, the wrath of the almighty God is coming on you very soon.

    The blood of the innocent people that are being sent to the great beyond before their time due to your insolent attitude and corrupt practices will cry and revenge will be taken on you and your generations. Amen

    REST IN PEACE C.E.O

    for Naija we still dey feyin shi pepsi!

  35. It's a pity, Da Grin is gone: @SABRINA…..i can feel ur pain…But God will not destroy Nigeria because of the righteous one…when you wake up in the morning don't curse 9ja but Bless 9ja for us….am sure you have families in 9ja….although i don't like the government and the un caring atitude of the leaders…still we have to lift 9ja up..If the righteous are in rule the people arein peace..also righteousness exalts a nation..

    To the rest: make sure you have RENOUNCED THE DEVIL AND ACCEPTED JESUS AS YOUR LORD AND SAVIOR… it's not you good works that takes you to heaven but Jesus Christ you have accepted….whether you are a worker @ church or not…it's JC that matters.
