She trended on twitter for a
couple of days, for all the wrong reasons. She received tons of backlashes from
people who thought she was being malicious and insensitive, after she claimed
among other things that Kidney transplants don't cost 100k USD. If you missed it
read it HERE She has released a statement
clarifying her intentions. Read below.
'I was utterly misconstrued with my tweets
on OJB’s treatment, I honestly didn’t mean cheap, I meant at a reduced cost
with better treatment.
Currently I have 2 relatives living with
kidney failure whom I’m responsible for and caring for, thus, I’m no stranger
to whatever OJB is going through.”
“I don’t mean for my tweets to be
misconstrued and I won’t take OJB’s health problems with levity as many have
misconstrued me.
All I was trying to do was bring an idea of
where we can get the transplant done since it’s utmost necessary we get it done
soonest and funds ain’t coming in as much expected. Thus, I thought we could
try a better and certified centre which isn’t as expensive as the current one
in UK when there are several cheaper countries to perform the surgery.
Also instead of people lashing out on
celebrities, they should rather be asking the government to help.
“It should be further noted that we are all
finding a lasting solution to help end the pain of the talented entertainer and
bring smile to his face once again and not generate issue out of someone’s
suggestion or hand of help.
