When he was younger !!!
Lest we forget!!!
John Odafe Asiemo, otherwise known as DADDY Showkey was born to Isoko parents in Delta state. He grew up in the ghetto parts of Ajegunle. He was a big music hit in the 90s
. He is mostly associated with the ghetto singers in Ajegunle such as Baba Fryo.
He got his nickname through his grandmother’s elder sister’s son who was popularly known as Showboy . Showboy brought him up, so, he had to adopt the name, “Showkid” as a child. But as he grew older, his friends changed it to “Showkey”.
The “Galala King” was the first artist to start the Nigerian Dancehall style. Instead of using the Jamaican patois, Daddy Showkey decided to use Pidgin English for his music and invented a dance style that changed the Nigerian dancehall scene.
He turned 50 last August 4 2020.
