Fresh reports on DAGRIN's death.....


There are fresh reports goin round on the possibility that popular young and once promising star Dagrin was actually drunk on the the day he was involved in the near fatal auto accident that caused his death.

Sources said some insiders had claimed that the rap artiste's car was filled with liquor at the time of the accident.

The tragic incident which happened at the early hours of wednesday the 14th of April had left a long trail of uncertainties.

Dagrin was said to have been coming from a night studio session when he ran his newly acquired Nissan Ultima into a parked truck in front of Alakara police station in Mushin. As at the time of the accident, Dagrin was left hanging between life and death before he was rescued by policemen on patrol. The policemen reportedly called his manager, Tunde after finding his number on Da Grin’s ‘last dialled’ list. It was gathered that Dagrin was immediately rushed to Tai Solarin Hospital in Olosha where he was given first aid treatment before he was later transferred to Lagos University Teaching Hospital (LUTH) at Idi Araba in Mushin due to the inapability of T&S Hospital to administer needed treatment.

However, contrary to the stories being circulated earlier as to where he was coming from that morning, sources said that he was actually coming from a friend's place identified as James. We were further hinted that he got intoxicated during his stay with James over the night before he decided to call it a day. A by stander at the scene of the accident revealed that “he must have been drunk and over-speeding because the truck he rammed his car with has been parked at the front of the police station several hours before the tragedy occur, to buttress my point, when we ran to rescue him after the accident, a bottle of Hennessey was found in the car and the whole car was filled with the all sort of liquor induced odour“. Dagrin was said to be in accompany of his close associates, when the accident occured. The damaged car has since been confiscated at Alakara Police Station in Mushin.

And I ask, where could the associates be then at the time of the accident?
If he was in the company of the associates, why was he the only one in the car?

After the accident, sources said it took his management two days to issue a statement. Two days after the fatal accident, a statement was issued by the artiste manager that: Between 2 and 3 am on Wednesday14th of Aril, your favorites indigenous rapper, Olaitan Olanipekun aka Dagrin had car accident along the mushin area of Lagos State. He was on his way back from the studio, where he was recording tracks for his upcoming new album. He came out of the crash with cuts and bruises and has a successful operation to close a cut he sustained during the accident. He’s presently in the hospital, where he’s recovering.
However, this is not meant to be as the lad passed on yesterday obviously not making it through this is after being unconscious even after the operation he went through at the Lagos University teaching Hospital (LUTH).

May his soul rest in peace.

MI’s former manager, Godwin Tom said ‘(MI) Abaga will not respond i’m sure! he knows better.You don’t fight a child you can beat. it’s pointless!‘ but he was proven wrong as MI took to twitter to make a response:

#10 (ten things to do after kelly hansome disses you): wonder why ‘kelly rowland’ is dissing you and why she sounds like a nigerian man

#9 (ten steps after kelly hansome disses you): refer to show promoters as ‘Maga’ making phrase maga don pay.. Relevant and correct to self!

#8 (ten steps after kelly hansome disses you) rewrite fast money fast cars.. Calling it.. Fast money fast cars;the fab life of kelly hnsme!

#7: (ten steps after kelly hansome disses you): collect all future awards saying.. I don’t deserve this..is kelly hansome here(he is not!)

#6 (ten steps after kelly hansome disses you) promise world 2 grow taller; seek out height doctor, or taller shoes e.g goth shoes 4rm camden

Needless to say, anyone following MI that day was clearly entertained. 2shotz hasn’t said anything yet, but you never know. Wande Coal’s video for “Who Born The Maga” will be dropping soon, and who is to say there wont be a small jab here or there, esp with all this stuff going on.

To cap it all off, T-Money released his diss track to Kelly Handsome titled “Warning Shots.” T-Money goes hard on the track, and stands up for MI, the mo-hitts crew and Kennis Music.

Talk about recovery and a response. It was also revealed that none of those dissed are taking Kelly Hansome serious as Don Jazzy confessed he use the first diss track from Kelly Hansome – Igwe kom kom as his ‘ringtome for a bit’.



Kelly Hansome earlier dissed Wande Coal, d;banj and Terry G in igwe kom kom.

Recently he released a track where he dissed M.I., Chocolate City, 2 shotz, Kenny ogungbe and reinforces diss at Mo Hits in the track titled ‘Catch Me If You Can’ and only recently releasing a follow up to ‘Igwe kom kom‘ directed at the Mo Hits again diss called ‘Who Born The Maga (La La Low)’ .

From FIT to FLAB?



Now I'm certainly not impressed with this!
What da' heck happened to Prison Break's WENTWORTH MILLER?
The sexy shaved head, flat stomach and defining jawline have been replaced by a fuzzy head of hair, a rounder face and a bulging gut!!!

Miller shot to fame in Prison Break which told the story of two brothers - Lincoln Burrows played by Dominic Purcell, who had been sentenced to death for a crime he didn't commit while the other, Michael Scofield played by Miller gets himself jailed to save his brother.

Scofield creates a tattoo - which took five hours to apply each time onto Miller's body - which also had hidden within it, the blueprint of the prison.

At the height of his Prison Break fame, he starred in two Mariah Carey videos for her songs It's Like That and We Belong Together, singles from her 2005 album The Emancipation of Mimi.
But since Prison Break, which ran from 2005 to 2009, Miller has kept a fairly low profile, and has only had a few minor roles.

He appeared in an episode of the hit series Law and Order: Special Victims Unit last year and stars alongside Milla Jovovich and Ali Larter in the upcoming 3D horror film Resident Evil: Afterlife, due out this September.

Last month, he landed a role in upcoming thriller The Mourning Portrait, which is inspired by post-mortem photography that was popular at the end of the 19th century when many people would photograph their recently deceased as a keepsake.
