The late rap artiste's 2008 model Nissan maxima car ran into a parked lorry in front of Alakara Police station, Mushin and he died on the Thursday April 22, 2010. Issues were raised on the cause of his death and several causes have been reported but Doctors at the hospital where he passed on said he had a heart attacks seven times and he was revived each time but died when he had the eightieth one. He has been buried in a NGN150,000 casket with fans and colleagues turning out in huge numbers even with the change in time from 12 noon to about 9AM when it said.

The news now is his mom, Mrs. Olaonipekun blames the hospital for his death as she informs that “…They also said they didn't have equipment for the stomach x ray. They said that blood started entered his brain but that they will suck it out. They did. They complained that he was not eating. The people at LUTH didn't take good care of him. They gave him different food and his tommy was swollen. The nurses didn't listen to any of the complaint because they claimed we shouldn't teach them their job. They insisted on feeding him through the mouth even when he wasn't digesting it. He gradually deteriorated and was not responding to signs and gestures. He wasn't talking and in the evening of Friday, April 22, 2010 when he died, his body temperature was very high.”

Things you might not know about Da Grin.

Da Grin started out rapping in English but “I decided to rap in Yoruba because I understand it better than English. It is not that I can't do English rap but I want to represent my origin and I rap in my mother tongue. I respect my colleagues that rap in English too”, Dagrin had said.

It must be general knowledge now that Dagrin was a phenomenon at the busy computer village in Ikeja, Lagos as a phone vendor after the release of his first album. Things went really bad then and he needed to survive. If you didn't know, no thank you needed.

He started his music career on LEO records in 2006 where he released his debut album. He was with the label until 2008 when he called it quits. “I left after my contract expired and my first album didn't even enjoy good promotion”, said Dagrin.

After his exit from Leo, he faced serious financial challenges. He forfeited the apartment that had been given to him by his label within their office premises in Magodo and he struggled to get a place of his own so took the '50 cent'( an artiste he takes as a role model) and went all out 'hustling' at the notorious computer village in Ikeja.

The Black Maxima car with which he had the accident was presented to him by his record label, Edlyne Records, and he had also send that the automobile has the customised plate number, Dagrin 03 because two bigger cars were on the way.

Until his death, Dagrin was just a school certificate holder with intentions of going back to school after taking his music career to a desired level.

Friends and colleagues agree that he was a Very respectful & humble before and AFTER he blew…unlike some other artistes.

Pikin wey dem born well no dey waka for night, what was he doing in the middle of the night and why would he have to go and ram into a parked trailer because of excessive speeding and alcohol,

We have to be careful how we live our lives because we only have one life to live.

If [/b]indeed this guy was intoxicated when he had his accident then i have no sympathies for him and say good riddance.

anyone who is drunk with alcohol and decides to drive deserves to die. some months ago I was cruising jejely on my own next thing a car just appeared from nowhere hit me and next thing I was somersaulting like cloth in a dryer. i pretty much thought i was a goner  and was ready to die. somehow i survived but my car was a heap of crap.

imagine my anger when i found out the basterd who tried to kill me was drenched to the bone in alcohol. had the idiot not died on the spot, i woulda killed him myself!

several months later insurance have refused to pay out and i had to get a new car. all this problem because some fool decided to drink and drive.

thank goodness that dagrin [b]fool didnt take an innocent life with him. . . . thank goodness he died alone.

Evil Brain:

I'm a doctor and I can confirm that none of the above jargons makes any sense. The problem in cases like this is that the relatives have no clue what the doctors/nurses are doing and have no way of getting more information about their loved one's condition. The doctors on their part are usually too busy or impatient to explain things properly. The end result of this is the relatives believing some meaningless nonsense like " he died because his tommy was swollen" or "because of the food they were giving".
If he was bleeding into his brain then his "tommy" was the least of his problems. That's a very, very serious complication, and there's often nothing that can be done to help no matter how much equipment the hospital has. Don't believe me, Google "intracerebral hemorrhage" and see for yourself.

You began with IF & eventually went ahead to rubbish the guy like you were the doctor that handled the case.So far, we have not heard any authenticated report that he was DUI,until then these crucifictions are based on assumptions.

Now this is a very mean and rude thing to say about the dead and most especially Dagrin. There are so may factors that could have led to the accident;

1. There could have being the useless police check point blockade on the road, which he did not see on time and tried to avoid driving into it, but unfortunately ran into the parked truck which obviously did not have safety reflectors or C-Caution sign on it.

2. Most likely he was drunk, but would not deliberately drive into a parked truck if he had seen it. Besides, the truck wasn't supposed to be parked on that road if you have ever driven through Mushin road.

All in all, he deserves part of the blame for the accident because he should have slept over in his friend's house instead of insisting on going home at that ungodly hour. Nevertheless, that does not give you the right to bash him the way you did, alot folks out there will have your head on a platter if you made such a comment in public, because we love him so much and alot of us identify with him.

Seriously the hospital contributed to Dagrin's death. Aside from drunk driving which is the obvious cause of the accident. Common the brother was still holding on to life for 5 days, and all the Doctors could say was that they tried their best.

Well, they should thank their stars Dagrin is not related to me, because i would have arranged for thugs to burn down the hospitals and cripple all the doctors and nurses that treated him. Bunch of retarded deviants who careless about people's lives.

You need to be at LUTH or one of those government forsaken hospitals to see how the nurses and some of the Doctors address and treat patients. I almost had one of the security men beaten up when my wife delivered at Isolo general hospital. I vowed never to go to any public hospital again, although the private hospitals are worse off. God help us in Nigeria.

With that said Doc, don't you think it is the right of the relative of a patient to know what exactly is happening to their beloved one and what they are doing to correct or treat the problem

Doctors and Nurses play with people's lives and i personally will take any Doctor's life God help him or her if this were to happen to my loved one.

Look here, i repeat[b] IF HE WAS DRUNK[/b] then good riddance to useless scum.

why drive while drunk? he didnt see the truck? yea, that usually happens when you're boozed out.

even if the police check point or truck wasnt there he could have easily have hit an killed an innocent bystander as I was a victim once too.

funny how we spend time lamenting and crying for an alcoholic when there are worthy people out there deserving our sympathies.
