Eedris Abdulkareem, a veteran rapper, is scheduled to undergo major surgery for a kidney transplant, with £4,269 (N2,136,345.49) raised to that end.
Abdulkareem, who was recently diagnosed with kidney failure, expressed gratitude for the love and support he’d received from his fans and well-wishers since the news of his illness broke.
On Friday, the “Jaga Jaga” singer shared information about a GoFundMe account on his Instagram page, explaining that it was set up in response to requests from concerned individuals.
Yetunde, the ailing singer’s wife, was also said to be his kidney donor.
Though the family member wasn’t disclosed by the singer’s team, when they took to social media to intimate his fans and followers of his current health condition, an insider claimed the wife has opted to be the donor.
“The wife is donating her kidney for him. All that is left now is to get the money needed for the surgery,” the insider said.
The goal of the GoFundMe account was £48,000 but as of the time of filing this report, only £4,269 has been raised by 164 donors.
