Popular Nigerian rapper, Eedris Abdulkareem, has said he was shocked when his wife, Yetunde, offered to donate her kidney when he was terminally ill.
He said so during an exclusive interview on TVC’s Entertainment Splash while discussing how he struggled with kidney failure for years.
The 49-year-old singer said his wife made the offer during one of their consultations at the hospital after being told that the donor had to be a family member.
According to Eedris Abdulkareem, his wife offered without hesitation to donate her kidney and underwent a series of tests to confirm their compatibility.
The rapper, who previously dedicated a song to his wife titled “Thank You,” also said that even before she donated her kidney to him, he had always known that she could do anything for him.
Speaking in a chat with The Punch; “I had always known that she could do anything for me; just like she knows that I can do anything for her. It has always been that way with us.”
Eedris further explained that he previously released a song to pay tribute to his wife, Yetunde, for her selflessness and unconditional love.
“There are a lot of ways I have been showing my jewel of inestimable value my unalloyed appreciation for what she has done for me, and I will never get tired of doing that. She is the most awesome person alive.
She is actually my Siamese twin and our bond is unbreakable. Making a special song for her is one of those things I am doing to thank her, though this is not the first song I have dedicated to her ‘royal loveliness’.”
The singer also advised people to marry for love and not for any other reason, saying:
“While coming up in the industry as a young guy, I had the option of marrying for more money and high society connections. But, I refused to be a gold digger and clout chaser, and instead diligently worked and prayed for my own soul mate.
The day I saw her, I knew immediately that I had found my missing rib. My advice to young people out there is that they should marry for love; not any other thing.”
