Nigerian singer Adekunle Kosoko, popularly known as Adekunle Gold, has once again sent a message of hope to those living with Sickle cell anemia.
Gold, diagnosed with the ailment at birth, paused his recent performance to address the sickle cell survivors and encourage them.
“Our sickle cell survivors, our warriors that are currently going through it. If I can do it, you can do it. I was born with sickle cell, I grew up with sickle cell, and all my life I fought with it. But I’m thankful that I was able to manage it. I don’t fall sick, I don’t know how that’s happened but I’m thankful,” he said.
He urged all survivors never to feel held back by their condition as he has had to deal with all the crisis and he is where he is today.
“This is me reaching out to everyone currently going through it, having to deal with the cramps and all the crises. It should never stop you, you know. Look at me, I’m a f***ing superstar now despite living with sickle cell. Nothing should stop you. ”
The singer, however, dedicated his performance of the song “5 Star” to sickle cell survivors
