Nigerian music promoter and socialite Samson Erinfolami Balogun, popularly known as Sam Larry, has gone viral on social media following multiple reports of a road accident that left him hospitalised.
According to reports, the accident occurred in the early hours of Saturday along the Lagos-Calabar Coastal Road in Lagos State, when the vehicle conveying the socialite, a close associate of singer Naira Marley, collided with a trailer, leaving the car extensively damaged.
Tragically, the accident reportedly claimed the life of Sam Larry’s bouncer, who was said to have died at the scene.
The incident captured widespread attention after comedian and master of ceremonies Mario Wazobia shared posts on Instagram calling for prayers for the music promoter.
In one of the posts, he wrote:
“Pray for Sam Larry,” while another post claimed that the music promoter had been taken to hospital following the accident.
Following the reports, netizens flooded Sam Larry’s Instagram page, reacting to his last post shared five days before the accident, which featured pictures of him, Naira Marley and some friends dressed in suits.
The post included a motivational message that read:
“@nairamarley @samlarry_10 Ijoba Your future is created by what you do consistently, not by what you do occasionally, just Keep grinding in silence. Consistency will make your success impossible to ignore.”
As of the time of filing this report, no official statement had been issued by Sam Larry’s family or management regarding his condition.
Similarly, the police and other relevant authorities were yet to issue an official account of the circumstances surrounding the crash or confirm the reported casualty.
