Adekunle Gold Opens Up About Battles With Sickle Cell

Renowned Nigerian afrobeat star, Adekunle Kosoko professionally known as Adekunle Gold, has shared his struggle with sickle cell.

 

 

The singer, who recognised sickle cell survivors in his recent theatrical production, stated that he was aware of his condition right from a very young age.

 

 

“Warriors out there, no matter what you are going through, I wanna say you can do it. If I can do it, then you can. All my life, I fought with sickle cell, but look at me now I am a superstar.” He said.

 

 

In a video, the 37-year-old who thanked God for his prosperous career and widespread fame without suffering any serious health problems also urged those facing comparable health issues to never give up and be tenacious in pursuing their dreams.

 

 

The Lagos born artist gave sickle cell survivors a special tribute during his rendition of the song “5 Star.”

The lyrics reads in part:

“See I don’t look like wetin I don see
I will never forget the 90s
Many Nights I go dey beg for mercy
Sickle cell been show me crises
Thank you for the journey”
