Veteran gospel singer and former Kennis Music artiste, Kenny Saint Brown (KSB), has stirred emotional reactions online after making a surprising revelation about late rapper Dagrin’s final prayer requests before his untimely death in 2010.
In an episode of the Haha Podcast, which premiered on YouTube on Wednesday, May 15, 2025, the singer soke about Dagrin’s verse on her 2010 prayer-themed single ‘Turn Me Around’.
According to her, his verse was filled with pleas for fame and material wealth, but shockingly lacked a request for long life.
She stated:
“The song Turn Me Around is a prayer request. He also came with his own. If you listen to his rap from start to finish, it’s all prayer.”

KSB recalled breaking down in tears when she learned of his death, noting that God revealed to her in prayer that everything Dagrin asked for on the track was granted — except he never asked for a long life.
She said:
“I cried. I asked God, why? And He said, go and listen to his verse. There’s no long life there. He just said, ‘make I blow’, ‘mo fe ma gun Bentley’, and ‘let everybody know me worldwide’. God granted it all”
Singer KSB also credited the song for her own success and international exposure, revealing that Turn Me Around opened global doors for her as well.
Dagrin, born Olayitan Olanipekun Oladapo, tragically passed away at the age of 25 following a ghastly car crash in Mushin, Lagos. He was in a coma for days before dying at LUTH on April 22, 2010.
His groundbreaking use of indigenous Yoruba rap left a lasting legacy in the Nigerian music industry.
