THE CEO DAGRIN!!

Its a sad day in the Nigerian entertainment industry today, on twitter, in the family homes of Olaitan aka Dagrin as well as in the lives of his friends and fans. Nigeria has produced some of the best musical artises of all times in Africa and Dagrin was a product of these blooming times.....
I am a huge fan of Nigerian music, the beats drive me a whole lot to the ground, all u need is to put in a CD ill dance all the way for u. I heard about Dagrin i think Early Nov 2009, My soon to be brother - in - law asked if i had heard a guy called Dagrin? i was like no, at the time i was bumping to Eldee's Ota mi, lami phillips I know ft M.I and the new Styl+Plus singles. i rushed to notjustok.com could not find him then i go on youtube Oh! that was the moment i fell in love with him, i did not even know he was rapping in YORUBA all i heard was Mummy mi o si ni le, kondo, and a sick beat, U guessed right i was on the repeat button  and soon the words i spat out like i wrote the lyrics. I had my girl go home and buy me his CD and just the thought of that makes me wanna shed a tear i guess i just realized how much i loved him.
His death brought back the painful memory of loosing my friend PAUL Archie SMALLS - that was my ace and i dont think i can ever get over his death he was marred in my heart for life, I remember the many times i smiled and laughed back then he was always by my side, most times i look back and try to see if there was ever a shred of doubt about how much i loved him.....I am glad to say he knew, even wen he said his goodbyes he told me i miss u and love u much see u soon i just never knew it wont be till we meet at the feet of our master.
Dagrin i never knew him personally but the tweets i av seen, the words from people and the light he seemed to radiate while he was alive makes me wish i met him or tweeted at him once to appreciate his talent, encourage his hustle and tell him to step over the H8rs. He made a joke about an interview where people commented on his grammar, and i wonder!!!! wen would we truly appreciate the fact that these artistes, or anyone as well could av chosen to be rogues, thieves and menace to the society instead with the poor backgrounds, with the hardship of their youths they have made something of their lives, paying their parents for the nights of toil, the scorching sun they hawked to feed dem, the rainy seasons they had to shield their kids from leaking roofs or the cold weather and the times they lay sick but they fought for their survival? I sincerely think we all need to take a second and watch what we say to people who are doing what they can how they know best, i see people who just bite into these artistes like they are not human like the rest of us?? They have their fears, insecurities and need support and encouragment, the power of a smile or a pat on the back y'all have no idea what it does. I have been on twitter and watch people just disabuse it, i love to make people smile, i love to encourage people, its amazing how many pple i av never met but open up to me just because they feel safe to talk or be heard, people are struggling within themselves, if u cant make them feel better, its better u dont even bother talking to them.
Truthfully, some artistes do come off with a chip on the shoulder some hide behind these walls for fear of showing what they really feel, lets all try to remember they are HUMAN BEINGS just like us. The One person u love and believe in his character is the same person another being is disgusted at? Its a shame it takes death to express how much u loved someone wen you could easily show it while they were alive. Michael Jackson was mourned all over the world but half of the support and tears he got, if all through the times the media slandered him he got this much love from people maybe he would have felt the need to connect more to people cuz they saw him beyond what he was made to be on the front pages.
I just wrote all these cuz thats the state my heart is and i av connected dearly to so many people on twitter which truly has brought us all together in Nigeria, I just hope we all remember to stop hating on one another, believe in ourselves and believe in genuine friendships, its so sad some people are shallow minded to think everyone wants to get in between your legs or want to cop on ur fame.....BREATHE we brought nothing to earth we are taking nothing back. Learn to discern the fakes and just maybe you would start to see the angels God has brought your way through networking, u never know where your help is coming from.
