However, other inside sources have squealed on the gravity of the accident and its aftermath on the rapper.

The report said that Dagrin was in a very bad shape; in critical condition with doctors working round the clock to save his life”, said the source as at press time, last Thursday.

He was said to have been returning home from an assignment, and he had called home severally to tell them not to lock the gate; that he was coming home.
The manager and close family sources allegedly confirmed to NET that the rapper was left unconscious after running into the truck, and was left hanging between life and death before he was rescued by policemen on patrol.
The policemen reportedly called his manager after finding his number on Dagrin’s ‘last dialled’ list. He was initially taken to Tai Solarin private hospital in Mushin, before his minders moved him to LUTH.
The rapper is believed to have sustained numerous injuries, especially in the chest, jaws and head.
His manager confirmed he had an operation same day at LUTH and has been under intensive care.
