Today, the 22nd of April, 2020, marks 10 years since the Nigerian music industry lost a legend, Oladapo Olaitan Olaonipekun also known as Da Grin.
On April 14, 2010, he was involved in a ghastly motor accident. His vehicle rammed into a stationary truck at night. Da Grin went into a coma as a result of the collision.
Da Grin was super talented, and his family, friends, and devoted fans will never stop remembering. Da Grin used Yoruba, English and Pidgin to revolutionise rap in Nigeria.
For sure, the Da Grin remains forever in the hearts of Nigerians.
