NEWS: THE 25TH THAT NEVER HAPPENED - "REMEMBERING THE CEO- DAGRIN"

25th of October 2010 came along like every other day but to Mr. and Mrs. Olaniyi Abolaji Olaonipekun, friends, fans and family- It was a day to remember and celebrate the birth of a great star now gone to sleep...DAGRIN
Da Grin, formerly known as Oladapo Olaitan Olaonipekun would have turned a year older on the 25th of October 2010, instead we are left to remember the enigma that passed through the earth for a brief moment before moving on to the other side.
He passed away on April 22nd, 2010, after complications from a car accident,eight days before as the late rapper’s car ran into a parked lorry in front of Alakara Police station, Mushin. He was buried amidst throngs of thousands of fans at Ebony Private Vault, Atan cemetary on Friday April 30th, 2010.
Dagrin ,26, was a recording artiste, songwriter, rapper and performer. He was signed to his own label Missofunyin Entertainment and managed by Edlyne.
His sophomore album, THE CEO, got mad attention and quadrupled in sales after his demise and the speaker-banging chart burster single off the album- "Pon Pon Pon" keeps gathering more and more awards as the year rolls by.

Close friend YQ, has dedicated “Miss You” a tribute song composed by him for Dagrin, taken from his current album, "I AM YQ."
In YQ’s words: “Dagrin remains evergreen in my heart- a true friend and a brother things are not the same without him here, but I’ll continue do all i can to keep his footprints alive, i miss him a lot”

HIS LYRICS..still on the lips of every boy and girl on the streets; HIS MUSIC....still playing on every DJ's turntable; HIS VOICE...loud and clear through the speakers on every corner.

Da Grin, you will greatly be missed and you'll always be dear to the hearts of the entire Wahala Media Family.

We love you and we remember you today...sleep on beloved!!
