“Been in the ICU twice in the past month and it’s so friggin boring that i have resorted to taking prison photos. enjoy. album in a couple- a weekz,” she wrote.
While fans began spreading rumors in her comment section, Chika cleared up the reasoning behind the hospital visits were due to kidney failure.
“You know you can spend 3 days in ICU and then get moved to the regular floor right,” she clapped back. “Please shut the fuck up, i had kidney failure.”
Although, there were plenty of fans who sent their love and warm wishes to Chika as she goes through her health struggles.
Chika has been open about her health and mental health battles in the past as she nearly went through with ending her life in 2022.
“I went to the top of the intercontinental, but could not jump. not because i don’t want to, but because the metal stairs were scary. that’s the thing about having a fucked up brain. no matter how much pain you’re in, there will always be something holding you back. it’s draining & sad,” she wrote.
“It looks like crying wolf, but it’s not. it’s just difficult to find the right way. the quickest way. the painless way. i am tired of myself too.”
