Tells his story to Punch Saturday Beats
“It all started
when we went on an American tour and I started feeling feverish. I found myself
taking my bath with hot water even on a very hot day. That was when I started
noticing something was wrong. I noticed that whenever I drank alcohol, the
fever would come in an aggressive way. I eventually went to a hospital in
London. The doctor told me not to worry that everything would be fine. He said
to start the treatment, they would have to do something that would allow them
take something from my spine. It was a very painful procedure.
“There was a time
that I felt I would die. My only fear was that I was not close to God. I was
afraid that if I died, I would not make it to heaven. We musicians have a
particular lifestyle. You may plan to be upright, but when you go into
entertainment business, it would change you. I was regretting that I was not
close to God. I did not want to go to hell. I felt so happy that I survived,”
he said.
“After the treatment, I did two other tests and the doctors confirmed that I was okay. After three months, I am meant to go for a PET scan. I could remember that before the treatment, we had a meeting and agreed that we had to bring £50,000. After the seventh chemotherapy session, the whole money finished. They had to send more £8,000 into the account I was using. The last time I went to withdraw money, what was left there was £120. So I used about £58,000,”
He said doctors warned him to stay away from unprotected sex for about three months.
They said if he impregnates a girl, the baby may not form normally as he still has residues of the chemotherapy in his system.Assured that he is healed, he said that at the end of the treatment, he did a blood test and they said he was okay. The singer told Saturday Beats that the treatment cost him about £58,000. He was supported by some close friends like P-Square, KCee, Flavour and a London-based friend, Ugonna, who offered them both accommodation and about £30,000.
