Nigerian artiste Daddy Showkey has narrated a near-death involvement from
his former days in a gang.
Daddy appeared as a guest on the latest episode of The Honest Bunch Podcast, and in the extract of the unreleased episode, he revealed that he once narrowly escaped being burnt
alive.
According to him, in his time in a gang, he told how they found some guns which they used to terrorize the locals during their activities, and one day they were caught.
He confessed, . “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,’” he said.
Luckily for him, he hardly escaped the charges of death but one of his gang members was not so lucky.
“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,” he added.
