Some African stars, including Didier Drogba, Asamoan Gyan and Nicholas Pepe, have reacted to the death of Ivorian artiste, Ange Didier Huon, aka DJ Arafat.<\/p>\n

DAILY POST had earlier reported that DJ Arafat was involved in a road accident in Abidjan.<\/p>\n

Arafat died from injuries on Monday at the Polyclinique des Deux Plateaux in Abidjan.<\/p>\n

His motorcycle crashed into a car driven by a Radio C\u00f4te d\u2019Ivoire journalist.<\/p>\n

\u201cHe was admitted to the emergency room in a vegetative state. He had a skull fracture and oedema,\u201d a doctor from the institution told Jeune Afrique on condition of anonymity.<\/p>\n

He added that the medical teams tried to revive him, but \u201cin vain\u201d.<\/p>\n

\u201cI\u2019m at the clinic where DJ Arafat was admitted. I can confirm that the artist has passed away. I am with Minister of State Hamed Bakayoko to organize with the family,\u201d said Maurice Bandaman, Ivorian Minister of Culture and Francophonie.<\/p>\n

Born in 1986 in Yopougon, a town in western Abidjan, the artist liked to claim new nicknames from \u201cCommander Zabra\u201d to \u201cYorobo\u201d \u2013 more recently, he even introduced himself as \u201cLeader of People\u2019s China\u201d.<\/p>\n
