OJ Blaq talks about his kidney problems.<\/p>\n
Ghanaian musician, Andy Alexander Nii Akrashie, known as OJ Blaq revealed what contributed to his kidney ailment a few years ago.<\/p>\n
Furthermore, according to him, alcohol and smoking affected his health greatly.<\/p>\n
Moreover, the sickness nearly claimed his life. He spoke about this\u00a0with Jessica Opare-Saforo on Citi FM\u2019s \u2018Traffic Avenue.<\/p>\n
\u201cI was not hypertensive, I was not diabetic but I\u2019ll say it\u2019s lifestyle. Too much alcohol, smoking, meat and all that lifestyle did not help. And what I have understood is that wherever you are weak that\u2019s where Satan uses to attack you.\u201d<\/em><\/p><\/blockquote>\n
Furthermore, he said he started smoking and drinking when he was at the basic school level. According to him, he started smoking the cigarette when he was at Achimota Primary School. In his third year at the Junior High School, he added marijuana.<\/p>\n
Few years ago, OJ Blaq was down with kidney failure. However, according to him, God miraculously healed him, and he has now become stronger than before.<\/p>\n
Recounting his ordeal, OJ said he really went through pain when he was hit by the sickness.<\/p>\n
However, later checks proved that his condition had reversed to normal; a situation which is rare among people who suffer kidney failure.<\/p>\n
