VETERAN entertainer, John Asiemo popular as Daddy Showkey, has revealed that he relocated because his friends abandoned him after getting involved in an auto crash which nearly took his life in 2007.
In an Instagram live chat where he recounted his ordeal, the singer said due to the abandonment he experienced from his friends; he had to relocate to Warri in Delta, to learn a trade. His doctors also advised him to stop singing and dancing.
According to the music star, it was a tough decision for him. But he had to start earning again after the car accident put him in the hospital for three years and almost claimed his life.
Speaking in pidgin English, he recounted; ”When I get accident around 2007, I run my car under trailer, I dey come back from Olu Maintain birthday. As I get accident, I dey for hospital for three years, I nor fit work. When I came back from abroad, the doctor advised me to stop dancing and singing.”
After he left the hospital, Daddy Showkey relocated to avoid fake friends.
“When I come back, the people wen go come meet me, I go dash the millions. When I go their house, them go tell their gateman make them lock gate, make the gateman tell me say dem nor dey.”
Famous for popularising the Galala song and dance step, Daddy Showkey made waves in the 90s with some hit songs, including Diana, Fire Fire, and Ghetto Soldier.
We are happy the music star is back on his feet.
