“I Never Scammed Nigerians That I Needs Money For Kidney Transplant” – Jay Boogie

Popular transgender, Jay Boogie has addressed allegations of defrauding Nigerians by falsely claiming to need a kidney transplant.

Reports indicate that the transgender personality faced health complications arising from a botched Brazilian Butt Lift (BBL) operation, which initially led to speculation about failing kidneys and a purported need for a transplant.

Amidst concerns and online solicitations for financial assistance with medical bills, skepticism arose, with some accusing Jay Boogie of attempting to deceive the Nigerian public.

Responding to these accusations, Jay Boogie took to social media to clarify the situation, shedding light on the truth behind the claims.

The transgender claimed that, contrary to widespread belief, he never stated that he had failing kidneys. Instead, he clarified that he had sought financial support solely for covering his medical expenses.

He wrote, “On the 30th October 2023, i had a BBL and Liposuction at CGE AESTHETICS (Curvy Girl Essentials) from 5pm -11:40pm, when I became conscious on 31st October 2023 while still at CGE till 11:22am. My urine for 12hours was less than 200ml and the surgeon began to panic, a referral was made to Lagoon hospital on the

31st October 2023 and I arrived Lagoon hospital at exactly 3:56pm

where doctors at the emergency unit came for their investigations and recommended medications to subdue pains while (EUCR, FBC, CT-SCAN, CRP AND XYZ) was going on. On 1st November 2023 at 3:42am, Lagoon Hospital returned me in an ambulance to CGE AESTHETICS.

We arrived Zenith Medical and Kidney Centre in Yaba at 6.23am and i was diagnosed with Sepsis and Acute kidney injury, and we started dialysis, which i did daily at that time and i still couldn’t pass urine. I also did a plasma exchange to enable me pass urine, but that didn’t work.

I NEVER POSTED I NEEDED KIDNEY TRANSPLANT, I only posted I needed donations for my hospital bills.

Due to the media pressure, Zenith Hospital Management discharged me at 9a.m witha Creatinine as high as 807 on the 18th November 2023 and asked i do my dialysis from home, all efforts to check in to LUTH AND LASUTH was VOID DUE TO LACK OF BED SPACE IN the Critical Care Unit (CCU). ! went to St.Nicholas hospital (Campbell street Lagos) where i had to continue my dialysis and more.

I had to go offline for my mental health because the bullying was too much and I was getting death threats. I ceased communications because my family decided we needed privacy.

I NEVER SCAMMED NIGERIANS, I NEVER LIED, AND I DID NOT DEFRAUD ANYONE. I HAD SEPSIS AND ACUTE KIDNEY INJURY, AND I WAS ON DIALYSIS.

It took this long for me to respond because my health was my priority and i had to take care of myself. I was discharged on the 28th of November 2023, iam getting better and i feel better. I am still on medications, and i am also off dialysis for now and my health is rejuvenating.

I want to thank everyone that donated and reached out to me during my ordeal and i want to assure them i never lied or scammed Nigerians about my situation.”

KanyiDaily recalls that Jay Boogie had shared his challenges of being confined in the hospital while witnessing the decline of both his businesses and personal life.
