He is still traumatised after a near-death experience. Nigerian star ,DJ Big N, real name Nonso Temisan Ajufo recently became the victim of a hijacking in Johannesburg north, which left him severely injured.

NEAR-DEATH EXPERIENCE

DJ Big N shared that after a happy Sunday night out with friends, things took a turn and he almost lost his life. "I went out with some friends to a fancy lounge in Johannesburg. From there, I decided to head to another club with another acquaintance. On the way, at a traffic light, we were ambushed by two cars carrying six armed men with automatic rifles.'

SHOT

In the chaos, he tried to escape but got shot in the leg. "One of the robbers put the gun to my head and demanded my watch, which I struggled to remove, along with my chain and other jewellery,' he added. Bleeding heavily, he said he managed to get back to the car and the driver rushed him to the nearest hospital. "The bullet had passed through my leg, narrowly missing a major artery and bone. Doctors described this as miraculous, calling me 'lucky.' I credit my survival to divine intervention and my mother's prayers,' he added.

THE EXPERIENCE

The How Many Times DJ said the experience changed my perspective on life. "I lost a lot of valuables that day, but I realis material possessions mean nothing. Life is fragile and validation is meaningless. God gave me another chance and I'm committed to living more authentically and appreciating life without unnecessary stress,' he said. "This event restored my focus and reminded me of what truly matters. I met so many wonderful people in SA and went to so many beautiful places and like any other country, there would be bad eggs that paint the nation bad.'
