Nigerian singer, Adekunle Kosoko popularly known as Adekunle Gold has been spotted at a Sickle cell outreach.
The outreach with the Sickle Cell Advocacy and Management Initiative sponsored by the singer took place in Lagos.
The singer as part of his ongoing efforts to educate and bring awareness to the disease also visited the Sickle Cell Foundation Center in Lagos.
In July 2022, Adekunle Gold revealed in his newsletter to his fans about
his struggle with sickle cell anemia.
The newsletter partly read then, “It feels liberating to finally be able to share this part of my life with you, to finally be able to speak my truth. When I talk about how I struggled to get to where I am today, I need you to know that my struggle was real.
“I was born with sickle cell disease. It was life and death, it was physical, mental, financial, you name it and I went through it all. It was tough, painful and frustrating. I lived with a sickness no one around me understood, I lived with restrictions all my childhood.
“I wasn’t able to join some of the most minor child play and liberating activities like going out in the rain. The times when I insisted and rebelled against my parents’ orders and went out in the rain, I would end up having a crisis.”
Positive reactions from online fans have trailed the actions of the singer.
