THE RISE AND FALL OF POP STAR PRODIGY, DAMMY KRANE!

‘It takes many good deeds to build a good reputation, but only takes one bad deed to lose, just as the punishment is not for revenge but to lessen crime and reform the criminal.’

These words best describe the unfortunate long walk of Nigerian-born afro-pop singer, Dammy Krane, to the far away American jail in Miami Florida for grand theft, credit card scam and identity fraud. The singer, born Oyindamola Emmanuel, and artistically known as Dammy Krane, started out his early years in Ifako/Aguda axis of Ogba area in Lagos, where he was brought up by his grandmother and where his music background ultimately started via the church where his grandma worshiped, before he found his way into the globular music scene, eventually coining his style of music as afro-pop henceforth. It was gathered that while Dammy Krane was steadily and stealthily foraying into the secular music genre, he mingled with boys of questionable and dubious characters, who invariably tutored him in street smartness and also involved him in pockets of internet sleazes alongside youngsters like him; and thus he was never suspected or fingered among his street-wise gang as an internet fraudster, based largely on his over-pampered upbringing by his grandma and the regular payments an handouts from his America-based mom.
