When Daddy Showkey was a member of a gang, he claimed he was nearly burned to death for stealing.
Nigerian musician Daddy Showkey has talked about a near-death encounter he had while growing up in a gang.
The singer was a guest on The Honest Bunch Podcast’s most recent edition. In a sneak peek at the unaired show, he disclosed that he had almost died from burns.
I was in a gang back in the day. I won’t lie. Some of us found guns where we used to pick valuables from in a refuse dump somewhere in Ikorodu. We started using the 9mm guns to terrorise the area. One day, when we were out in our usual style, someone saw us and started screaming, ‘Thieves, thieves, thieves
They caught me and my friend and they tied us up and they were going to burn us. We were saved miraculously but unfortunately, they caught 91A and burnt him alive on the new road,” he said.
“I am a living testimony for every young man because If I John can be alive today to become Daddy Showkey, there is nobody who can’t become someone. People are usually ashamed to talk about their past but I’m not. I don’t care
