I never got to meet Dagrin – Olamide
YBNL boss, Olamide was a guest of the 14th episode of ‘The Truth’ with Olisa Adibua where he was grilled for over 30 minutes on several issues, including his relationship with ID Cabasa, his little beginning and more.
In the course of the interview, Olamide was asked if he had any relationship with the late Dagrin, and he said, ‘No, not at all, I never got to meet Dagrin at all.’
Reacting to a question on whether he owes anything to Dagrin for opening the pathway and acceptance of indigenous rap, Olamide said: ‘Actually, Dagrin did pave the way for people like me. Lord of Ajasa paved the way as well. This whole thing is a movement and it has to keep going on. Every new set of artistes that come out will pave way for the next generation.’
His legacy lives on -Saeon
Saeon: 5 years on, and his legacy lives. Dagrin was a musical genius, who inspired the popularity and acceptance of Hiphop music in local tongue, contributing immeasurably towards a new Nigeria, where pride in our collective indigenous identity is on the rise. My heart goes out to his family and loved ones. My prayer is that the Good Lord continues to comfort them. R.I.P, Dagrin.
He laid a big legacy -Oritsefemi
Oritsefemi: Emotionally, I’ve missed Dagrin for real. He laid a big legacy in the Nigerian entertainment industry whereby a lot of young, upcoming rappers are rapping in our dialects. So, these young artistes are earning money through the platform Dagrin laid. Dagrin has eliminated poverty by 10%. We did a song together, anytime I listen to the song, I always remember him for real. I miss him
He left his name in gold –Korede Bello
Korede Bello: Dagrin left his name in gold and I sincerely pray that the mystery and grace around the number 5, which stands for Grace will guide him and the rest of us to make better decisions in fife.
He inspired me – Trybson
Trybson: Dagrin’s legacy has been surprisingly strong one. His music and struggle to fame is still an inspiration to people. A whole lot of artistes, both new and old are still inspired by what he stood for and I can say I am an example of that. Playing the lead role as Dagrin in ‘Ghetto Dreams’ was really challenging, considering that there was an attempt to make the movie as real as possible.
I personally went through a lot of research and schooling about the kind of person Dagrin was before he died. I listened and rehearsed his music over a million times, so I could get into his character effortlessly, and I can say I was inspired by his story.
He was his own prophet -KSB
KSB: DaGrin was his own prophet. He prophesied that the rendition of Rap music in colloquial/native language would be widely and globally accepted, celebrated and honoured, and it was so. This is d meaning of his record coy, ‘Mosofunyin Entertainment.’ Although, he was not the pioneer, but his lyrical depth and versatility is yet to be surpassed. So, five years after his demise, his genre of rap style is waxing strong and on the rise.
He died too soon -Essence
Essence: Hmmmm. Dagrin’s death is 5years already? Well, all I can say is don’t be afraid to be you because at the end of the day, it’s only you that matters. He died too soon but I think he fulfilled his destiny because he was ‘n’ still is massively celebrated. His name is etched in the sands of time.
He was Nigeria’s Tupac -Terry Tha Rapman
Terry Tha Rapman (T.R): Dagrin, I’d say, was like Nigeria’s Tupac. We know he had the potential of a rap icon. It’s so unfair his life got cut down too soon because he would definitely have remained relevant till date. He created his own rules and still succeeded. He was a game changer, no doubt.
Keep shinning in the Lord -Jahbless
Jahbless: Dagrin lives on. Since he left, no one has been able to fill that space. Gosh! We miss him so much. ..If it’s not Barrack O grin, it can never been like Barrack O grin. Keep shinning in the Lord, hommie.
Pity! He’s been forgotten so soon – K-Solo
K-Solo: Basically, I will be straight and factual. It’s simple! Just like when every other celebrity dies in Nigeria. The career, family ‘n’ fame also die along. So, nothing cool to say due to the ineptitude government we have, which has no love for the entertainment industry. They only use us to make our fans vote for them, and then, dump us where we belong again. Thank God for Olamide, who gives us a reminding thought of Dagrin.
He was hardworking – Oluwaseun
Oluwaseun: Dagrin will be remembered for his hard work and legacy in the music industry.
His music is still fresh -Ruggedman
Ruggedman: 5 years after, Dagrin’s music still feels fresher than ever. It feels like yesterday that we were at Aura Club together. That is one great artist Nigeria lost too early. May his soul rest in peace, because his name and music still live with us. Lyrical were ‘salute’!!!
We’re remembering him for his good jobs – Alao Malaika
Alao Malaika: Dagrin’s death was very painful. We are still remembering him for the good jobs he did in the music industry.
