In a recent appearance on Channels TV’s “Rubbin Minds” with Ebuka Obi-Uchendu, Jatt revealed that his medical journey began in 2020 when he suddenly lost his sight
After undergoing surgery to regain his vision, Jatt was diagnosed with chronic kidney disease while living in the United States. He underwent dialysis and eventually returned to Nigeria for a successful kidney transplant.
Jatt, 58, attributed his health issues to his decision to explore the world beyond Nigeria, where he had spent most of his life. He took a break from the public eye to focus on his recovery, continuing to DJ in America and Europe before returning to Nigeria in December.
He wrote: “Maybe I caused it for myself because in 2019 I said that I wanted to spend more time out of the country. I’ve lived all my life in Nigeria, especially Lagos. So I wanted to explore the world; Europe, America, everywhere.
But in 2020, I started having some health issues. There were travel restrictions at that time so I was just within Nigeria. I lost my sight. I had a surgery and I regained my sight. After that I felt that I needed to take a break and comply with my plan of living elsewhere for a while.
Then I relocated to the U.S. When I was in the U.S, I was also diagnosed with chronic kidney disease. I was there for a while. I was on dialysis. Eventually, I came back to Nigeria and had a kidney transplant. After the transplant, I decided to be quiet for a while to recover properly. So immediately I was discharged, I left Nigeria again.
While I was away, I was still Djying in America and Europe but I decided that it was time to return to Nigeria so I came back in December.”
