Comedian and actor, Julius Agwu, has revealed that he suffered erectile dysfunction after undergoing brain surgery in the United States in 2015.

Agwu disclosed this on a recent episode of the Beer Parlour Talk Show uploaded on Saturday, while speaking about the impact of the surgery on his body, career and personal life.

During the conversation, the host asked if the brain condition or the surgery affected other parts of his body, including his sexual function.

Responding, Agwu said, “After I do am, prick no dey work again now. E no dey work.”

Other guests on the show, including Mr Patrick, explained how a nerve connected to the brain was affected during the procedure, linking the nerve damage to the complication he described.

Agwu had the surgery in 2015 after doctors discovered tumours in his brain.

The comedian has previously spoken publicly about his health battle and its effect on his life and career.
