LAGOS, Nigeria (VOICE OF NAIJA) – Nigerian music star, Richie Marvin Chime Akuba, also known as Morachi has survived a ghastly motor accident in the United States.
The singer who was once popular for his hit single “Hapuya Like That”, announced on his Instagram page.
According to the singer, he escaped death when his Range Rover SUV exploded on a highway back from Alabama to Atlanta.
“God did it. Yes, He saved my life. I am grateful to God. My Range Rover exploded while I was still in the car driving on the highway back from Alabama to Atlanta,” he wrote.
The Nigeria-born and now Atlanta, USA-based, Morachi caused major waves with the release of his hit single ‘Hapuya Lyke Dat’ back in 2007 – a song that still holds the record for the most played song on MTV Base Africa – and his last project Eagle 1 which was released in 2020.
Refusing to be bound by genres or conventions, Morachi creates innovative soundscapes fueled by compelling storytelling.
He says “I’m like a movie director. the message has to be different. Even if it has to be love, I have to switch it up.”
