Veteran Musician KK Kabobo Begs For Help As He Battles Liver Disease
Highlife artiste Kobbena Kwakye Kabobo, also known as KK Kabobo, is currently facing health challenges and is seeking financial support from the public.
Images of a frail-looking Kabobo, who was considered a trailblazer in rap music in Ghana for his fusion of rap and highlife in the early 90s with the song Nyatse Nyatse Girl, have circulated on social media, causing widespread concern among Ghanaians.
Content creator Barima Kaakyire Agyemang later posted videos and photos of the musician, revealing that he is battling liver issues.
“He shared with me that he has been feeling unwell for some time, experiencing sharp pain around his right abdomen. Seeking medical attention, he went to the hospital, where he underwent various diagnoses.
“Initially, they suspected it might be an ulcer, but later they couldn’t pinpoint the exact problem. After thorough investigations, the results revealed an issue with his liver,” Barima shared snippets of his interview with KK Kabobo.
He explained that he couldn’t upload the full interview since the musician was struggling to speak well. However, he sought his permission to post the videos and pictures to solicit public help.
“Although he didn’t explicitly request it, I spoke to him, and he understood the necessity. Since falling ill, they have incurred significant expenses in the pursuit of recovery – from hospital stays and scans to medications. The financial burden has been overwhelming,” Barima explained.
He subsequently provided his Facebook followers with an update on how they can assist Kabobo, while also disclosing the source of his distress.
He said that presently, he is engaged in a fierce struggle against a liver ailment. His close-knit family has made significant financial investments to aid his recovery and restore his vitality.
