Daddy Showkey on why he's been on dreads for the past 22 years.

 

So veteran artiste, Daddy Showkey has been wearing dreads for the past 22 years? That's pretty long. The Galala singer has an answer for those who have been asking/ would love to see him wear a new look. Here's what he told PUNCH in a recent interview.

"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. "
