In a shocking turn of events, Nigerian music star Dare Art Alade’s luxury Range Rover SUV was completely gutted by fire on Friday, June 6, 2025. The incident occurred around 4 p.m. on the busy 3rd Mainland Bridge in Lagos.
The news was confirmed by his wife, Deola Art Alade, in a heartfelt message shared on Saturday. According to her, the vehicle suddenly caught fire and was burnt to the ground. Fortunately, no lives were lost in the incident.
