Popular Nigerian singer Adekunle Gold has debunked a viral rumour suggesting he underwent a bone marrow transplant to treat his sickle cell anaemia. The claim, which surfaced on July 21, 2025, via a post on X (formerly Twitter), implied the singer was cured following the alleged procedure.
Reacting to the post, Adekunle Gold dismissed the speculation, stating, “It’s how you people say things you don’t know with so much confidence. No, I haven’t done bone marrow transplant.” His response has sparked discussions about the spread of misinformation online, especially concerning personal health issues.
The artist has previously shared his struggles with sickle cell in his music, notably in his 2022 track “5 Star.” While fans continue to commend his openness, the incident has reignited calls for responsible use of social media and fact-checking before spreading health-related rumours.
