Nigerian rapper Keshinro Ololade, popularly known as Lil Kesh, has assured fans he is safe and in stable condition after being robbed and stabbed in a recent attack.

The “Don’t Call Me” crooner confirmed the incident on his X handle (formerly Twitter) on Thursday, a day after it occurred, expressing gratitude to fans and the public for their support.“Life threw me a curveball, but I’m safe, healing, and blessed to be here,” the 30-year-old wrote. “Grateful for the love, support, and prayers.”

Though the authorities are yet to release an official statement on the robbery incident, Hip TV and other outlets reported that Lil Kesh narrowly escaped death in a robbery attack on Wednesday.

He was reportedly stabbed in the neck, sustained a deep ear injury, and was robbed of his jewellery worth millions.
