Nigerian singer, Keshinro Ololade, popularly known as Lil Kesh, has reassured fans of his safety after reports that he was stabbed and robbed in Lagos on Wednesday.

The 30-year-old artiste, who rose to fame with the hit song Shoki, took to his Instagram story on Thursday to thank supporters and confirm that he is recovering.

He wrote: “Life threw me a curveball, but I’m safe, healing, and blessed to be here. Grateful for the love, support and prayers.”
