“I lost my sight in 2020” – DJ Jimmy Jatt reveals
Nigerian disc jockey Oluwaforijimi Amu, known as DJ Jimmy Jatt, has shared insights into his health struggles, culminating in a kidney transplant.
In 2022, the artist known for his hit “Stylee” disclosed that he had successfully undergone a kidney transplant. During a recent appearance on the Channels TV program “Rubbin Minds” hosted by Ebuka, Jatt recounted that he lost his vision in 2020 and was subsequently diagnosed with chronic kidney disease following surgery aimed at restoring his sight.
He explained that his health issues began when he sought to broaden his horizons after spending the majority of his life in Nigeria.
He said, “Maybe I caused it for myself because in 2019 I said that I wanted to spend more time out of the country. I’ve lived all my life in Nigeria, especially Lagos. So I wanted to explore the world; Europe, America, everywhere.
