News broke out few days back on veteran rapper Lord of Ajasa who is currently suffering from Peptic Ulcer and needs urgent medical attention. It was reported that the singer was abandoned by his colleagues, whom he groomed in the rap game.
As against the report, veteran music producer ID Cabasa said Lord of Ajasa is not left alone to care for himself as other established music acts have come together to offer him assistance.
He wrote:
‘My attention has been drawn to a rather alarming post about Lord of Ajasa’s health. I believe it is necessary to quickly address this before the public is misinformed. Lord of Ajasa was diagnosed with Pelptic Ulcer and he is currently at the Hospital and being attended to. @baddosneh @9iceofficial @babanla2phat and myself have been in touch with the wife and Ajasa. Let everyone be clear that Ajasa has not been neglected as been widely suggested by certain people.
I speak for everyone concerned when I say that We are not aware of the online post making the rounds which is not necessary. To set d record straight Ajasa is not a wasteful Artiste or careless as being suggested by a lot of people. I pray we don’t get ill or sick… He is responding to treatment and hopefully might not need surgery. Please let’s pray for Ajasa’
