Rumours have been flying around.
We can now confirm that rapper Dagrin who had been on admission at LUTH following a terrible car crash last week, has passed.
His manager Tunde Peters and close family sources tell NET that the young man gave up about an hour ago.
His family is expected to make a statement tonight.
The late rapper was born Olaitan Olaonipekun to Mr and Mrs Olaniyi Abolaji Olaonipekun.
OFFICIAL PRESS RELEASE FROM DAGRIN’S FAMILY
OLAITAN ‘DAGRIN’ OLAONIPEKUN IS DEAD
We regret to announce the passing of our son, friend, partner and brother Mr. Olaitan Oladapo Olaonipekun A.K.A. Dagrin.
He died at 6:00pm on Thursday April 22 – exactly eight days after he was involved in a ghastly accident in front of Alakara Police station, off Agege motor road, Mushin, Lagos.
He survived a serious head injury, as a result of the crash.
He was initially admitted at Tai Solarin Hospital, Baba Olosha Bus stop, Mushin before he was transferred to the Lagos University Teaching Hospital (LUTH) Idi Araba where Doctors made serious efforts to save his life. He was admitted at the Intensive Care Unit and operated upon, and later moved to the private wing of the hospital.
Doctors worked day and night; we fasted and prayed, but all efforts to save his life proved abortive. We lost him on Thursday April 22, 2010 at 6:00PM.
Dagrin, 26, was a recording artiste, songwriter, rapper and performer. He was signed to his own label Missofunyin Entertainment and managed by Edlyne Records.
Burial arrangements will be announced by his family soonest.
While we pray the Almighty God grant him eternal rest, we wish to thank his numerous fans and supporters, as well as the media for their unflinching support at this trying period.
We ask that you please continue to pray for his family, especially his parents and siblings. And please only the details contained in this release –jointly issued by his parents and management – should be considered as fact.

This is a very sad news to me. I do not know Dagrin and never heard his music, but I just saw his tribute music by other musicians on TV few minutes ago and it break my heart. May his soul rest in peace and my condolence to his parents and immediate families. To other stars and fellow brothers and sisters, the young and the old please let this be a lesson to all. immunity to any danger is extra care and protection from almighty God. Once again Dagrin rest in perfect peace
Though, i've never heard your music before, but i heard the song dedicated to you.May your soul rest in bossom of our lord. Adieu.
