Eedris Abdulkareem, the Nigerian rapper, has confirmed a
GoFundMe account created on his behalf by friends to facilitate his kidney
transplant.
The ‘Jaga Jaga’ crooner was recently diagnosed with kidney
failure and is currently undergoing dialysis.
Abdulkareem is expected to undergo a kidney transplant on
July 27.

of the rapper, will be his kidney donor.
In an Instagram post on Thursday, the music star said he
authorised the creation of the GoFundMe after persuasion from his fans and
friends.

body and soul” ahead of the surgery.
The rapper appreciated his fans, friends and family members
for their support.
“Firstly, I want to
extend my heartfelt thanks and appreciation to you all for the unalloyed love
and care you have shown me since this sad news broke. I sincerely appreciate
and love you all for this outpouring of genuine love and care,” he wrote.
“However, based on the requests I have been receiving on the
need for GoFundMe activities, I want to assure everyone that the activity is
now on. Just click on my Instagram website for the gofundme link.
“I am feeling better, strong and agile in body and soul, while
awaiting the doctors summons for the surgery procedures scheduled for anytime
from now. Prayers, faith and staunch belief in God’s awesome works drives me.”
As of the time of this report, the fundraiser, which targets £48,000, has garnered £2,419 (N1,173,700) from 84 donors.
