A wave of concern has swept through Uganda’s music industry following news that renowned producer Didi, real name Abdul Karim Muchwa, was admitted to the hospital after a high blood pressure (HBP) attack. The incident occurred on Monday in Nateete, prompting a swift response from fellow producers and artists.
Among those who rushed Didi to the hospital were producers Washington and Rinex, along with artists like Coco Finger, who ensured he received immediate medical attention. Didi has been struggling with high blood pressure and ulcers for some time, conditions that have now culminated in a critical health episode.
“It’s pressure and ulcers that often give me a hard time because I often don’t complete treatment in full. I have also been overworking while sick,” Producer Didi explained in an interview with Sanyuka TV.
Despite his ongoing health issues, Didi admitted to frequently resorting to painkillers to manage his symptoms rather than following a complete treatment regimen. He also disclosed that he has been battling these ailments for over a year, often neglecting the necessary rest advised by medical professionals.
Now, with escalating medical bills and the need for proper nutrition during his recovery, Didi is appealing for financial assistance. His situation has sparked a call for collective effort within the music community to support one of their own in his time of need.
