Fuji musician Remi Aluko has revealed that he can barely see after years of battling glaucoma.
The singer disclosed his condition during a recent interview on Oyinmomo TV, explaining that his vision has deteriorated despite undergoing eye surgery in the past.
Even before
now, speculation had been rife that the fuji star , had lost
his sight and keeping it a secret. Some people have said that whenever he is
performing, his boys stylishly guide his movements on stage to prevent the
public from knowing about his visual impairment.
Also,
a young man who watched his performance at Ketu, Lagos, recently said that he
seemed to believe that the Fuji star had gone blind because of the way his boys
surrounded him during his performance.
Aluko said he currently cannot see and lives with blindness, though many people are unaware because he carries himself confidently.
He
noted that he has learned to manage daily life independently and deliberately
avoids dwelling on his condition to prevent depression.
“I’m a
glaucoma patient. I’m managing myself; I’m currently not seeing. Despite being
a glaucoma patient, many people don’t know. There’s no difference between me
and a blind person now, but no one knows because I don’t let my condition weigh
me down.
“Thank
God that I know how to take care of myself like someone who can see. I decided
not to dwell on my condition because I don’t want to be depressed,” he said.
The
Fuji star, known for his vibrant stage performances, remains active in the
music industry despite his health challenges.
Remi Aluko, born on
September 29, 1977, in Ebute Metta, Lagos State, Nigeria, is one of the most
distinctive voices in Nigerian Fuji music. With ancestral roots in Ilesha (Osun
State) and Abeokuta (Ogun State), Remi was raised in a Christian home, yet his
identity remains firmly tied to the energy, rhythm, and culture of Lagos, the
city that shaped his voice and vision.
Aluko began
performing professionally at age of 15. He made his debut in 1998 with the
album Celebration, released under Oregun Records. Over the years, Aluko has
released several albums, including Goodnews (1999), One time (2002/2003), The
Child (2000), and Ajela (2003/2004) amongst others.
