Akwasi Kardashian Succumbs to Kidney Failure After Brave Battle
Renowned Ghanaian actor and social media sensation, Akwasi Kardashian, whose online content brought joy and laughter to many, has tragically passed away after a prolonged struggle with kidney failure. His battle, marked by resilience and an unwavering hope for recovery, came to a heartbreaking end due to the overwhelming financial burden of his treatment.
In an emotional interview with Sammy Kay Media months before his passing, Akwasi opened up about his terrifying journey. It began with symptoms like persistent coughing, relentless vomiting, and unexpected leg swelling—symptoms that soon led him to a hospital where he received the devastating news. Doctors diagnosed him with kidney failure, estimating the costs for treatment to reach an astonishing GHC700,000, a sum that proved unattainable for him.
Revealing more about his health struggles, Akwasi disclosed that he had been diagnosed with high blood pressure five years prior but had not taken medication. As his health deteriorated, he was rushed to the hospital, where doctors confirmed severe kidney damage. This diagnosis forced him into a relentless cycle of dialysis treatments, costing over GHC20,000 every month—a cost that became impossible to bear alone.
Through tears, Akwasi Kardashian made a heartfelt appeal to his friends, fans, and the public, hoping to gather the resources needed to save his life. While his spirit was strong, his fight against kidney failure ultimately proved too much to overcome. The loss of this beloved comedian and actor leaves a void in the hearts of those who cherished his work and supported him through his courageous battle.
