Vast of the Bracket fame
who has returned to the country after his sojourn abroad (UK), where he underwent surgery for an
ailment (cancer of the blood). In an interview with Punch Saturday Beats, this crooner talked about his
experience and how the illness started, his survival et al. Read below:
“There was a time that I felt I would die. My only fear was that I was not close to God. I was afraid that if I died, I would not make it to heaven. We musicians have a particular lifestyle. You may plan to be upright, but when you go into entertainment business, it would change you. I was regretting that I was not close to God. I did not want to go to hell. I felt so happy that I survived,” he said.
“After the treatment, I did two other tests and the doctors confirmed that I was okay. After three months, I am meant to go for a PET scan. I could remember that before the treatment, we had a meeting and agreed that we had to bring £50,000. After the seventh chemotherapy session, the whole money finished. They had to send more £8,000 into the account I was using. The last time I went to withdrawmoney, what was left there was £120. So I used about £58,000,”
“It all started when we
went on an American tour and I started feeling feverish. I found myself taking
my bath with hot water even on a very hot day. That was when I started noticing
something was wrong. I noticed that whenever I drank alcohol, the fever would
come in an aggressive way. I eventually went to a hospital in London. The
doctor told me not to worry that everything would be fine. He said tostart the
treatment, they would have to do something that would allow them take something
from my spine. It was a very painful procedure.”

He said doctors warned him to stay away from unprotected sex
for about three months. They said if he impregnates a girl, the baby may not
form normally as he still has residues of the chemotherapy in his
system.Assured that he is healed, he said that at the end of the treatment, he
did a blood test and they said he was okay. The singer told Saturday
Beats that the treatment cost him about £58,000. He was supported by some close friends
like P-Square, KCee, Flavour and a London-based friend, Ugonna, who
offered them both accommodation and about £30,000.
