In a deeply emotional interview on Oyinmomo TV, the singer opened up about his ongoing battle with glaucoma, bravely disclosing that he has completely lost his sight.

Speaking with raw vulnerability about his daily reality, he shared that “there’s no difference between me and a blind person.”
“I’m a glaucoma patient. I’m managing myself; I’m currently not seeing. Despite being a glaucoma patient, many people don’t know. There’s no difference between me and a blind person now, but no one knows because I don’t let my condition weigh me down.
“Thank God that I know how to take care of myself like someone who can see. I decided not to dwell on my condition because I don’t want to be depressed,” he said.
