DJ Jimmy Jatt Discusses Battle With Kidney Disease And Sight Loss
Jimmy Jatt, a popular Nigerian DJ, has revealed what he experienced after losing his sight in 2022 and his battle with kidney disease.
DJ Jimmy Jatt revealed on Rubbin Minds that his health problems began in 2020 during the coronavirus lockdown. He also performed surgery to ensure that he regained his sight, and he was later diagnosed with chronic kidney disease.
The popular DJ also mentioned that he endured dialysis before he successfully underwent a kidney transplant in 2022 after the diagnosis.
It has been resilience and determination for the DJ’s journey in overcoming significant health challenges.
“Maybe I caused it myself because, in 2019, I decided to spend more time outside Nigeria. I had lived all my life in Lagos and wanted to explore other parts of the world—Europe, America, everywhere,” he said.
“But in 2020, I started experiencing health issues. Due to the travel restrictions at the time, I remained in Nigeria. I lost my sight and had to undergo surgery to regain it. After recovering, I felt the need to stick to my plan of living elsewhere for a while, so I relocated to the U.S. While there, I was diagnosed with chronic kidney disease.
“I stayed in the U.S. for a while and was on dialysis. Eventually, I returned to Nigeria and underwent a kidney transplant. After the procedure, I chose to take time off to fully recover. Once I was discharged, I left Nigeria again.
“Even while abroad, I continued DJing across America and Europe. However, I decided it was time to return home, so I came back to Nigeria in December.”
