For a few days now, unconfirmed rumor has been making round claiming that Music producer turned anti-HIV/AIDS activist Abdul Karim Muchwa, popularly known as Producer Didi had passed away, which he emphatically dismissed but what exactly is going on.
Social media buzzed with false reports claiming that the 'My Miss' producer had passed away on Thursday morning, fueled by photos showing the once vibrant producer in a frail state.
"You can't make such serious public announcements without confirming the truth. I have no words for them," Didi remarked, addressing the unfounded rumors.
Didi assured his fans and supporters that he is on the path to recovery, responding positively to medication. "I was feeling very weak, but I'm now gaining strength. I have friends who are supportive and helpful. I'm getting stronger but still need time," he said.
The producer highlighted the support he's received from industry colleagues like Coco Finger, Pallaso, and Eddy Kenzo. "Artists like Coco Finger and Pallaso have been checking on me. Eddy Kenzo sent me financial support," he shared.
Didi remains unapologetic about being open about his HIV/AIDS status and the challenges he faces with his medication. "If you decide to come out and show the world the truth, go all out. Did you expect me to come out as an AIDS patient and yet look healthy? That would inspire people to get infected. The societal mindset is to sugarcoat the bitter truth, but how can I when facing such a reality?" he asserted.
Producer Didi was one of the most influential music producers of the 2010s, creating hits like 'Mikono Wagulu' by Coco Finger and 'Stamina' by Eddy Kenzo. His resilience and honesty continue to inspire many, proving that even in the face of adversity, one's spirit can remain unbroken.
