Majek Fashek is revered as Nigeria’s greatest Reggae singer of all time.

The gifted singer was the first Nigerian act to perform on the David Letterman show. No Nigerian singer has done this since then.

Majek’s classic record ‘Send down the rain’ released in 1987 has a strong place in the history books.  Nigeria witnessed the highest amount of rainfall the same year. Blame it on coincidence or the potency of his singing powers but Majek Fashek became a legend after this.

Just like many talented musicians before and after him, Majek Fashek’s career has been plagued by drug abuse. Majek Fashek’s stardom fell in the early 90s because of heavy drug use.

From then on Majek Fashek would be used as a cautionary tale to up and coming singers to steer clear from drugs.

As fate would have it Majek Fashek was taken to rehab last year by concerned friends. Monica Omorodion Swaida who was his former back up singer also raised funds for him. Oil baron Ayiri Emami paid for his bills in rehab. Late last year Majek Fashek came out of rehab a new man.
