Musician Akothee says the cause of her noticeable weight gain is a health condition that has been keeping her up at night.

Taking to Instagram, Akothee cautioned people against telling her that she is fat saying that her condition scares her.

“Don’t meet me and start telling me how fat I am, I am having a health condition. I am swollen due to struggling with sleepless nights of pain. I am afraid to go to bed for I wake up with numbness on my fingers, this situation is scary for me,” she wrote.

Akothee, who was recently hospitalised over a pinched nerve on the neck, mentioned that a relative said she was faking her condition.

“I pity one of my close relatives who said I am pretending 🤔 I still don’t know what to tell her 🙏. Kwani am I in a boarding school I need permission to go home ? ! Or who do I even take my pity to? Am I an employee so I could get free time to hang around my family & not go to work 🤔 Wao! if there is anyone who wishes you bad luck are people you take close to your heart 🙏 pray for them anyway,” Akothee wrote.
