Kunle Afod Calls for Help as Veteran Musician Daddy Fresh Battles Serious Illness
Nigerian actor and filmmaker Kunle Afod has appealed for financial and emotional support for veteran musician Daddy Fresh, whose real name is Innocent Onyebuchi. Daddy Fresh has been battling several serious health issues and has been bedridden for over two years.
Afod shared a video of Daddy Fresh lying weakly on a hospital bed, looking extremely ill. In the video, Daddy Fresh could hardly recognize him and struggled to speak. The actor explained that the situation is very painful to watch, especially for someone who once brought joy to many through music.
Daddy Fresh revealed that he is suffering from kidney and liver troubles, neuropathy, and serious eye problems. He explained that one of his eyes has already been operated on but he still cannot see with it. He also said that sometimes he hallucinates and sees people around him that others cannot see.
The musician also spoke about his financial difficulties. He said he has been given a quit notice and may soon be forced to leave his home. He shared that he has nothing left to sell and has no idea where he will go next. He also needs urgent blood transfusions to stay alive.
Why is Daddy Fresh asking for help?
Daddy Fresh is suffering from multiple health problems and can no longer work or afford medical treatment and rent, so he needs support from the public and the entertainment industry.
Kunle Afod, clearly emotional, begged Nigerians and especially people in the music industry to remember Daddy Fresh’s contributions. He reminded everyone that Daddy Fresh was once a respected and talented musician with a strong voice and influence.
Afod said this is not the time to abandon him. He asked both fans and colleagues to come together to support him financially, medically, and emotionally. He stressed that Daddy Fresh deserves to be cared for and not forgotten in this difficult time.
The video has since sparked reactions online, with many fans expressing shock and sadness. Some have already started calling for fundraising efforts to help the musician get treatment and stable housing again.
