health struggles.

While appearing on Rubbin Minds, the Nigerian disk jockey disclosed that his health struggles began in 2020 when he was in Nigeria during the lockdown. He revealed that he lost his eyesight in one eye and underwent surgery to restore his vision.

He said in addition to his eye problems, he was also diagnosed with chronic kidney disease. He said he underwent dialysis and eventually had a kidney transplant in 2022.

“Maybe I caused it myself because, in 2019, I decided to spend more time outside Nigeria. I had lived all my life in Lagos and wanted to explore other parts of the world—Europe, America, everywhere,” he said.

“But in 2020, I started experiencing health issues. Due to the travel restrictions at the time, I remained in Nigeria. I lost my sight and had to undergo surgery to regain it. After recovering, I felt the need to stick to my plan of living elsewhere for a while, so I relocated to the U.S. While there, I was diagnosed with chronic kidney disease.

“I stayed in the U.S. for a while and was on dialysis. Eventually, I returned to Nigeria and underwent a kidney transplant. After the procedure, I chose to take time off to fully recover. Once I was discharged, I left Nigeria again.

“Even while abroad, I continued DJing across America and Europe. However, I decided it was time to return home, so I came back to Nigeria in December.”
