Once U r good in what u do, U break all tribal jargons.
Am not from his tribe but U wont believe I bought his CD when I was in Nigeria last year and have been jamming his song ever since.
I love all d songs on his last album.
RIP Da Grin.

For those wondering what's so special about Da Grin, that dude wasn't rapping. Nah, it was as if he wasn't talking to you!! I could totally relate. If you understand Yoruba very well, his songs were like talking to an Omo boy in your neighbourhood. So real!!
Plus he had the best flow in Naija. No wonder cats from other tribes feel him
Check out what Ruggedman just posted about him on fb
'I was getting a haircut this evening when my barber started talking about how DaGrin used to hang out in the area (Magodo) and was such a humble and great guy he pointed out a few houses in the estate where Grin carried out labourer site work just to make ends meet, as we spoke Dagrins song came on screen and the guy started weeping like a baby, it's not how long you live, it's the lives you touch RIP DaGrin'.

He did what he did for Nigeria and by this Nigerian standard, he rode like a giant. He had beef with no one. His humility was beyond par, His life was a struggle and when he started coming up, he wasn't blinded by the fame. Dagrin understood the fans were his life source. I can't continue, I suddenly feel weak. Dagrin was my brother, he connected to me and I'm going to miss him terribly

After the death of MJ,I thought I would never have to shed tears for a star. Da Grin came into the scene and held my heart captive with his songs. Was sad when I heard about the accident. My friends and I couldn't stop talking and wishing him a quick recovery. I was even looking forward to listening to teh single hit he would drop after his discharge from the hospital but alas! Death cheated. To actually think that this dude was my agemate, Quite sad!

Listening to Thank God ft Omawumi,all I can say is that dude never lived up to the lyrics of that songs. As in,this guy was talented! I wished he was going to be round for a very long time!

Goodnight CEO!

Dagrin was wayyyyyyyy more than that to some of us!

Buy her a brand new Prado Jeep

Not a laughing matter - That's exactly what my Mum requested for and we (the kids) had to shake bodi.

I still remember the shock-disbelief-adoration (in that order) expressed by the Oyinbo bank cashier when I told her what the withdrawal was for, in response to her question. 

@ OP - If you have the liver, take a deeeeeep breath and ask her!

My Dad use to trust me so much, I could do no wrong, and my sisters knowing this will always make me steal things from Daddys room. I will steal car keys for them to sneak out at night. One day, My sisters sent me to steal cornflakes and a bottle of wine, they convinced me that my dad was in the sitting room. As i was about coming out I heard him coming in from the bathroom, I ran aand hid under the bed, na so i stay there oh, Popsy went out, locked his room, na there i dey that day, till he came back in the night, my wicked sisters did not even come to check me or attempt to get me out.
Thank God na holiday we dey, I spent the whole day there, hid under the bed again when he came out, he open the door and went to the dinng table to have dinner before i was able to sneak out.

Did you still deliver the 'loot' (cornflakes and wine) to your sisters? If yes, you definitely stick to a plan till the job is done!

That it works in the US (a schedule) does not mean it will work in Nigeria. We all know our politicians tend to ignore us when we protest, let alone when we protest on schedules.

The problem is we pray 50,000 Lagosians on a jolly good ride home on one of this jankara trains don’t end up inside the lagoon from this cowboys from china

Kobojunkie:
By that you would RUIN it all. You don't want this to become some expected event, and protests only go so far. They are definitely needed but they are not all. Look at what teabaggers are doing in the US. They not only protest, they sign petitions, call their senators and even get the media, and the courts to hear them.
