However, on their way there, they were ambushed at a traffic light by two cars carrying six men with guns.
DJ Big N said he tried to escape but got shot, and a gun was placed on his head as they asked him for his wristwatch, chain and other jewellery.
Despite bleeding heavily, DJ Big N said he managed to get back in the car and was rushed to the hospital. Thankfully, the bullet missed a major artery and bone in his leg, leading to the doctors calling him lucky.
The public figure said that despite losing items worth over $114,000, he realised they meant nothing compared to his life.
DJ Big N wrote on his Instagram page:
“Life is fragile, and validation is meaningless. God gave me another chance, and I’m committed to living more authentically and appreciating life without unnecessary stress.
"This event restored my focus and reminded me of what truly matters. I am Nonso Temisan Ajufo, also known as Big N, and this is my truth.
"I met so many wonderful people in SA, and went to so many beautiful places…. and like any other country, there would be bad eggs that paint the nation bad. South Africa 🇿🇦 …. I Visit, I Don’t Judge.”
