Ghanaian musician Kunta Kinte has shared a detailed account of the circumstances that led to his health challenges.
In an interview on Asaasepa FM, Kunta Kinte addressed rumours that his stroke condition was caused by reckless lifestyle.
He dismissed such claims, emphasising that his popularity and the attention he received from women had no connection to his health condition.
“I had swag, the ladies were all over me but that is not why I had a stroke,” he stated.
The rapper recounted that his health ordeal began at the University of Ghana.
According to him, he was feeling unwell with what he suspected to be malaria and sought treatment at the university’s hospital.
However, he indicated that due to the high number of patients at the health facility, he was forced to wait over an hour before receiving medical attention.
According to him, this delay worsened his condition.
“When it started, I was in Legon and had a feeling that I had malaria. I went to the hospital, but there were about ten people ahead of me in the queue. I was attended to after an hour and a half, but my condition was worsening.
“When I finally got inside, the doctor indicated that he heard me reacting outside and complained that I was overreacting, saying it was just normal malaria,” he stated.
He narrated further, “Afterward, he injected me, and when I opened my eyes a few moments later, I found that I couldn’t even move. That’s what happened. It’s been 15 years now.”
