Adekunle Gold Opens Up About Living with Sickle Cell Disease and Facing Backlash
Nigerian artist Adekunle Gold recently shared his personal journey of living with sickle cell disease in a heartfelt interview.
Gold recounted the intense backlash and ridicule he faced upon initially revealing his condition. Despite these challenges, he emphasized the significance of raising awareness and the resilience required to manage the disease daily.
Gold’s candid discussion aims to inspire others with similar health issues and spark more conversations about sickle cell disease.
His story underscores the need for empathy and understanding, breaking down stigmas and fostering a supportive environment for those living with chronic illnesses.
He said, “I want people living with sickle cell to feel safe, to feel like they have help and support.
“They call you a sickler… Recently, when I talked about it [my struggle with sickle cell] on the song [‘5-star’], I saw a lot of tweets from people attacking and abusing me.
“I’m speaking about sickle cell disease now because I just got the courage to come out and speak up openly about it. A lot of people can’t share their stories like I can.”
