Monday
made it three years Oladapo Olaonipekun popularly known as Dagrin died
in an auto crash. Saturday Beats gathered that three years down the
line, the mother of the late rap artiste, Falilat Olaonipekun, is broke.
A Blackberry message made the rounds during the week, soliciting for
support for the deceased’s mother.
The message stated that as Dagrin was
being remembered by fans, his mother should also be put into
consideration. The message read, “DAGRIN is ALIVE. Yes in our hearts, he
is evergreen. It has been three years since our loving Dagrin passed on
to rest in the Lord! Show Dagrin’s mum some love, drop your widow’s
mite in her Acct- First Bank branch Acct- 3046543524 Olaonipekun
Oluwakemi Falilat.”
When Saturday Beats got in touch with
the late rapper’s manager, Tunde Peter, he said that the broadcast
message was authentic and he actually rebroadcasted it when he confirmed
its validity.
“Someone sent it to me and as I confirmed that the details are true, I had to rebroadcast it,” he said.
The development is quite shocking
because though Dagrin did not reign for more than eight months before
his death, he made a lot of money especially from shows. No one doubted
the love he had for his mother, especially as he said in various
interviews that she stood by him, so one would think his estate would
make arrangements for her.
Peters further told Saturday Beats that
because of the lack of structure in the music industry, nothing is
working for Dagrin’s parents.
He said, “I feel his mum needs help. She
claims that and currently she is not doing anything. Nothing is working
at all for all these people. Our music industry is just a flop.”
Meanwhile, some artistes showed their
love by using the late rapper’s pictures as display pictures on their
BBMs and avatar on Twitter. Tonto Dikeh went the extra mile by visiting
his graveside and laying a wreath there.
