Nollywood actor Kunle Afod has touched many hearts after visiting veteran musician Daddy Fresh, who is currently battling serious health challenges. The emotional visit, which Afod shared on social media, revealed the dire condition of the music legend, sparking conversations about the need to better care for Nigeria’s entertainment pioneers.
In the video, Daddy Fresh, whose real name is Innocent Onyebuchi, was seen on a hospital bed, speaking weakly as he narrated his ordeal. The once vibrant musician revealed that he has been bedridden for over two years, struggling with multiple health issues, including kidney and liver problems, neuropathy, and partial vision loss. He explained that his blood level has dropped drastically to about 25%, and he often experiences hallucinations and frequent falls when trying to walk.
The singer, known for his impact during the golden era of Nigerian reggae and hip-hop fusion, also shared that his health crisis has left him financially drained. He lamented that he is on the verge of losing his home due to unpaid rent and doesn’t know where to go next. His story paints a heartbreaking picture of how quickly fame and fortune can fade when health issues strike and support is scarce.
Deeply moved, Kunle Afod offered financial help and called on Nigerians, especially those in the entertainment industry, to rally around Daddy Fresh. “This man paved the way for many of us. He shouldn’t be forgotten,” Afod said, urging both fans and colleagues to assist the ailing artist.
The video has since gone viral, with fans expressing shock and sympathy while calling for collective action to support the veteran. It’s a sad yet powerful reminder that behind the lights and music are real people who sometimes need the same love they once gave to millions.
