How Mad Melon Died – Mountain Black Makes Shocking Revelation
one-half of the music group, “Danfo Driver”, Mountain Black, says his late colleague, Mad Melon was ” was acting strangely” before his death.
On the nature of Mad Melon’s illness, Black said in a chat with Saturday Beats, “I am not a doctor. I was actually not around. It was when I got back, I was told that he was not feeling well. One of his relatives called me and said I should come immediately because my brother was acting strangely. By the time I got there, he was gone. I was just told he was not feeling fine.”
YaahooJournalist recalls that shortly after news of Mad Melon’s death hit the Internet, many musicians posted his picture on social media, mourning his death.
Reacting to the act, Mountain Black said the music industry neglected Mad Melon before his death.
Mountain Black said, “Yes, he was neglected (by the music industry). We became popular in 2003, and we had been managing ourselves since then. I believe that with God, all things are possible. We believed in ourselves, and that is why we were still relevant in the industry till now. The industry is very wide; you can fix yourself anywhere and make your money. We were, also, both involved in transportation business.”
Revealing the plans for Mad Melon’s funeral rites, Black said, “the wake will take place on October 11, while the burial will hold the next day. We stay in Satellite Town now but we have to go back to Ajegunle where we were brought up. He is going to be buried in Atan Cemetery, Yaba. The people of Ajegunle have been very supportive.”
When asked what he would miss most about his former partner, Mountain Black said, “I will miss a lot about him. We went to places and worked together. He will always be in my heart. I can neither forget nor deny him– he was my brother.”
