Nigerian music veteran, Innocent Onyebuchi, widely known as Daddy Fresh, has opened up about the depth of his health challenges.

He revealed that he has been bedridden for over two years and has sold most of his belongings just to stay alive.

Afod, who visited him in the hospital, pleaded with Nigerians not to allow his situation to worsen.

“Daddy Fresh must not die,” he wrote, calling attention to the singer’s declining condition.

In the video, Daddy Fresh described how his body had weakened over time, leaving him in constant pain and unable to move without support.

He explained that doctors told him he urgently needs a blood transfusion because his blood level has dropped dangerously low.

Daddy Fresh also revealed that, beyond his health battles, he is on the brink of losing his home due to unpaid rent.

He revealed “I have a few days in my house because of rent. Them don give me quit notice. I don sell everything. Even if na television, I don close eyes sell am.”

He said the illness took away his ability to work and earn, leaving him with nothing more to sell.

The singer hinted that his condition might have spiritual undertones.

Despite his hardships, Daddy Fresh said Afod’s visit brought him unexpected hope.

Kunle Afod gave him financial assistance during the visit and promised to return with more help. He appealed to the entertainment industry and Nigerians across the world.
