Kemi Afolabi was diagnosed with Lupus in 2021. She had started experiencing shortness of breath and had to be placed on oxygen after some tests for about a month. The hospital flushed out the fluid blockage in her lungs, which also affected her heart.<\/p>\n

She then had to undergo surgery to flush out the fluid blocking her respiratory system. Following this, Kemi went through several hospitals from her private hospital and then the Lagos state teaching hospital (LASUTH).<\/p>\n

Subsequently, she moved to Army Barracks Hospital, and finally, Lagos University Teaching Hospital (LUTH), where she was at one point hospitalized for three months. Kemi’s sickness led to another test that was carried out in South Africa. It took about 2 weeks for the results to come back.<\/p>\n

In late 2021, the mother of Darasimi Adesipe<\/a> took to her Instagram to make mention of her condition. Marking her 44th birthday in April 2022, the versatile actress made reference to Lupus and how she had been coping with it.<\/p>\n
