He fell asleep while driving home from the studio at 3am. He crashed his rented Lexus into another car very bad.
The crash smashed his jaw in three spots. Doctors put a metal plate in his chin and wired his mouth shut for six weeks.
Just two weeks later, still in pain and with his jaw wired shut, he recorded “Through the Wire.” He even took pain medicine between takes.(this is crazy)
He later said the crash felt like God telling him, “I’m about to give you the world, but I can take it away anytime.”
I remember when people finally figured out that Lucas Radebe was Primo’s dad and they asked him why he didn’t tell everyone who his father was and his response was something like “because I don’t know your dads” 😭😭😭
That was so valid because why should he tell anyone 😭
