“Rest in Peace KING ROKAN 🙏🏾🇳🇬
The Nigerian community in Atlanta GA lost one of its own over the weekend. The entertainment industry, especially any Fuji or Juju artiste that has ever set foot in Atlanta just lost a dear friend, colleague and brother. This was the man that welcomed me to Atlanta when I first moved there.
And when he first brought his music to Nigeria in 2004, I took him to Eko FM and even interviewed him on air myself! He always knew Fuji music would take over the world. I was going to surprise him that I put a little clip of him talking about Fuji music over 20yrs ago in my documentary. So gutted he never got to see it 😩What Is Your Opinion On This?
