Nigerian Afrobeats star, Adekunle Kosoko, widely recognized by his stage name Adekunle Gold, has refuted recent online rumours claiming he underwent a bone marrow transplant. The speculation began when a user on X (formerly Twitter) made a bold assertion that the award-winning singer had successfully undergone a bone marrow transplant procedure to manage an existing health condition. The viral tweet stated:“Yes, he has, but since he’s had a bone marrow transplant, I don’t think it affects him that much anymore.” In a swift and humorous clapback, the music star publicly addressed the claim, debunking it entirely. He expressed his disapproval of such unverified information being spread with unwarranted confidence. Adekunle Gold wrote:“It is how you people will just say things you don’t even know with so much confidence. No, I haven’t had a bone marrow transplant.” Many observers believe this rumour may have stemmed from Adekunle Gold’s previous public revelation about living with sickle cell anaemia, which he emotionally discussed in his 2022 hit song, “5 Star”. In the track, the singer openly shared his journey battling the genetic disorder, an experience that resonated deeply with fans. Although the sickle cell condition often leads to serious health complications requiring medical interventions like bone marrow transplants in severe cases, Adekunle Gold has categorically denied undergoing such treatment. This latest development highlights the frequent challenge celebrities face with misinformation and speculation about their personal lives, especially concerning their health.
