Nigerian crossdresser, Daniel Nsikan, better known as Jay Boogie, has responded to allegations of lying and defrauding Nigerians with a false medical diagnosis.
Jay Boogie has made headlines several times recently after going public about his health. He had revealed that he had undergone botched liposuction which had resulted in sepsis and acute kidney injury. He then applied for financial support for his medical treatment.
A supposed doctor friend later revealed that both of Jay Boogie’s kidneys had failed and he would need a kidney transplant as soon as possible.
But days after the revelation, one of the GoFundMe organizers raised concerns about the authenticity of Jay Boogie’s diagnosis and said he had refused to provide a medical report. She also announced that the funds would be returned to the public.
However, the crossdresser has now responded in a statement that he published on his official Instagram page. He clarified that he never said he needed a kidney transplant, but simply asked for financial support for the treatment.
He denied claims that he lied and misled the public for money. Jay Boogie gave an update on his health and announced that he was discharged on November 28th. He added that he no longer needs dialysis and is recovering.
