Adekunle Gold reacts to claims that he underwent bone marrow transplant, Reaffirms Commitment to sickle cell advocacy.
Nigerian music star Adekunle Gold, popularly known as AG Baby, has responded with a mix of sarcasm and clarity to a viral claim suggesting he underwent a bone marrow transplant to manage his sickle cell condition.
The conversation was sparked by a user on X (formerly Twitter) who boldly declared, “Yes, he is but he has done that bone marrow transplant so I don’t think it affects him that much now.”
In classic AG Baby fashion, the singer wasted no time in addressing the misinformation. Quoting the post with a laughing emoji, he wrote:
“It’s how you people say things you don’t know with so much confidence 😂. No I haven’t done bone marrow transplant.”
The witty clapback drew laughter and applause across social media, with fans teasing the overconfidence of people who peddle unverified claims online. The original tweet was swiftly deleted after the singer’s response went viral.

Despite the drama, AG Baby used the moment to quietly reinforce his authenticity. The singer, who has openly shared his struggles with sickle cell anemia, has become a powerful voice in raising awareness around the condition.
Beyond music, he has channelled his platform into impact. Through the Adekunle Gold Foundation, the Party No Dey Stop crooner recently launched a free health insurance initiative, covering 1,000 beneficiaries part of his mission to support people living with sickle cell and other health challenges.
While misinformation may spread fast online, Adekunle Gold’s approach clear, grounded, and laced with humour, remains a masterclass in how to respond with grace and purpose.
