After the accident, 3GAR also shared a video of himself dancing on his verified Instagram account. In the comments, the Nigerian rapper responded to fellow Instagram user kellysettings’ criticism that his reckless driving had caused the accident. He said the car veered off the road because he had avoided hitting a beggar:
“Bro, the video was cut. That’s not what really happened. I was actually avoiding hitting a beggar before I lost control and hit the pavement and still avoided hitting the car in front of me.”
CCTV footage of the Nigerian rapper speeding through the residential area before the accident also went viral on social media.
Pictures taken shortly after the accident show a dazed 3GAR sitting in the middle of the road.

“Would be an interesting exercise to see who owns that vehicle, how it was paid for and whether SARS knows about the purchase.”
@Bronx_wrangler said:
This is crazy. This could have ended badly. He will have to face reckless driving charges. Wonder what he said to his insurance company?”
@DennisMomberg queried:
“Was this his car or a hired car?”
@JohanVanDerWe suggested:
“His license should be revoked. Plus, his immigration status should be checked.”
