Popular musician, Daddy Showkey, in a new interview with Punch has
explained why he wears dreadlocks even though he's not a reggae artiste.
Excerpts:
- What is the story behind your dreadlocks yet you are not a reggae artiste?
I have had this dread for over 22 years. I don’t have to be a reggae
musician to wear dreads. Reggae is from Jamaica, galala is Nigerian.
There are reggae musicians that don’t have dreadlocks. My own dreadlock
is a vow between me and God. I told God that if I, a nobody from
Ajegunle, become someone that the world would know, I
would not cut my hair again. It is a vow that I made. Many people do it
for fashion but I don’t do it for fashion. God has kept his side of the
vow, so it is left for me to keep my part of the vow.
- You claim not to take alcohol anymore. Is it true?
I stopped taking alcohol about a year and five months now. I have found
out that there is time for everything. There comes a time you have to
stay away from some things because at the end of the day, if you have
any illness, you would be left alone to deal with it. I don’t drink
alcohol and I do not smoke again. I have never smoked Indian hemp in my
life.
