Why My Wife Agreed to Donate Her Kidney to Me – Eedris Abdulkareem
Nigerian hip-hop act, Eedris Abdulkareem has revealed that his wife, Yetunde, is his kidney donor.
The rapper, who went public with his kidney ailment in July made the revelation at Freedom Vibes 6.0, a colloquium organised in his honour at Freedom Park in Lagos.
Eedris, 48, said, “I am shouting to my wife. I’m talking about the first time we went to see our doctor; the doctor said they don’t encourage kidney harvesting, selling of kidneys and all that, that the donor has to be a family member, a friend, you know; whether your daughter or your brother or your son, you know.”
“So right there, my wife decided to take all the tests, and from all the tests she took, everything came out positive that she was compatible with me. So I’m giving God the glory and thank God that I don’t have to wait for one year or two years because I know it’s not easy.”
It is the first time the artiste is confirming the identity of his kidney donor.
Eedris married his wife in 2003 with three children together.
Until recently, his wife had managed to maintain a low profile despite being married to a celebrity.
Eedris, who joined the event via zoom, didn’t look like his typical self but managed to give an impressive speech.
