DJ Jimmy Jatt, Veteran disc jockey, has disclosed that his recent kidney failure was not a result of smoking and drinking alcohol as it was presumed.
DJ Jimmy Jatt who has been in the industry for 40 years revealed he does not smoke, but only takes a little alcohol occasionally.
“I’ve never smoked in my life; smoking has nothing to do with your kidney though. I stopped drinking a long time ago and even when I was drinking it was just to socialize. Mine was as a result of diabetes which is hereditary and I’ve been managing that since I was in my 30s which led to high blood pressure and then kidney failure,” he said.
He also spoke on the present situation of Nigeria’s music industry, explaining he feels proud like a father because he’s been there when the industry was in shambles.
“I feel like a proud dad because truly I got into it when it wasn’t anything and when people frown at it. I know the battles I fought personally to be able to do what I do now and then the people that were very negative about it and then they see you now they roll out the red carpet or want to have dinner with you, so it’s a good time, I’m excited about what the entertainment space is right now.”
