Actor John Peasah, popularly known as 'Drogba,' has emphasised how his illness has worsened in recent times, causing him immense suffering. 

According to the Yolo star, he is now unable to perform basic tasks for himself, including bathing and other essential activities. 

In a phone-in interview with DJ Slim on Daybreak Hitz, he explained that the illness has severely affected his mobility, making it difficult for him to move properly. 

“The whole thing is, every day I’m in pain, I’m not mobile… I find it very difficult to bath, use the washroom, and that kind of thing,” he lamented. 

Sharing a vivid picture of his condition, Drogba said, “As I am talking to you right now, it wants to come but it is stopping… the syndrome affects your brain, and spinal cord, which radiates to your leg and affects your speech as well… and right now, it has affected everything.”
