Ghanaian actress Juliet Ibrahim came under fire, mortar and brimstones yesterday after releasing tweets that asked ailing singer and producer OJB Jezreel’s handlers “to stop harassing celebrities for funds...and more so a kidney transplant was not suppose to cost more than N8 Million so why ask for N16 Million?”. In case you missed that, you can read it HERE.
In a swift statement released by her media manager, Juliet laments that her words were misunderstood. Read the statement below:
“I don’t mean for my tweets to be misconstrued and I won’t take OJB’s health problems with levity as many have misconstrued me…all I was trying to do was bring an idea of where we can get the transplant done since it’s utmost necessary we get it done soonest and funds ain’t coming in as much expected, thus, I thought we could try a better and certified centre which isn’t as expensive as the current one in UK when there are several cheaper countries to perform the surgery.
Also instead of people lashing out on celebrities, they should rather be asking the government to help.“It should be further noted that we are all finding a lasting solution to help end the pain of the talented entertainer and bring smile to his face once again and not generate issue out of someone’s suggestion or hand of help,”
“Currently I have 2 relatives living with kidney failure whom I’m responsible for and caring for, thus, I’m no stranger to whatever OJB is going through.”
