Tems' Manager, Donawon, Survives Car Crash in Lagos
The accident reportedly occurred on Tuesday, August 4, 2026, in the Ajah area of Lagos, one of the city's busiest and most accident-prone corridors.
According to multiple eyewitness accounts shared on social media, Donawon's vehicle was involved in a collision, though the specific details surrounding the cause of the crash remain unclear.
Videos circulating online show the aftermath of the incident, with emergency responders arriving at the scene to provide assistance and clear the area.
The crash comes just days after another incident involving a public figure, when DJ Salt, sister of singer Ayra Starr, had her car damaged by area boys in Lagos, highlighting the growing safety concerns on the city's roads.
Awoniyi, who is widely respected as the strategic mind behind Tems' meteoric rise to global fame, has been a key figure in the Nigerian music industry for over a decade.
Known for his faith-driven approach to management and his belief in nurturing artists beyond just their talent, he has guided Tems from a relatively unknown singer to a two-time Grammy winner.
He is also the founder of BSB Management and Faceless Distribution, and has been credited with helping build a sustainable ecosystem for African music. His influence extends beyond Tems, as he has also worked with artists such as Omah Lay and has been recognized by Billboard and TurnTable as a top music executive.
His approach to management is rooted in character development and long-term vision, which has earned him immense respect in the industry.
An associate of Awoniyi, who confirmed the news, disclosed that he was in the car with his wife when the accident occurred. However, according to the source, he is "safe" and "responding to treatment" at an undisclosed medical facility.
The news of his survival has been met with a wave of relief across social media, with colleagues, fans, and industry insiders expressing gratitude that he escaped with his life. "Thank God for life," one fan wrote on X, while another said, "Donawon is a legend.
We can't afford to lose him." The incident serves as yet another stark reminder of the dangers of driving in Lagos, a city where road accidents are a leading cause of fatalities, often due to a combination of poor road conditions, reckless driving, and inadequate traffic management.
