According to the Nigerian artist, his wife Yetunde is the reason he was granted a second shot at life.
Veteran performer Eedris Abdulkareem has put up a heartwarming post celebrating his wife as they mark their 18th wedding anniversary.
The rapper, who received a kidney from his wife, says he will be eternally grateful to her for providing him the opportunity to live a normal life.
In his words, ”Yetunde Sekinat Abdulkareem, when my life is saved due to your precious gift, there is no words to express my gratitude. Please know I will always cherish the gift and be grateful forever.
I will never be able to tell you all the feelings that I have for you, but I want you to know how grateful I am for the chance you have given me to continue living a normal, productive life. Words can’t begin to describe how grateful I am to you. I have grown to appreciate life and I do not take it for granted.”
