Keeping the Health Crisis Under Wraps: A Secret Battle and a Steady Progress
Although DJ Amen couldn’t be reached when Daily Sun attempted to contact him, a close friend offered reassuring news about his progress. Initially, his condition was critical, and his concerned friends decided to keep the news under wraps to protect his privacy. The friend said DJ Amen’s number is unreachable because his doctors advised him to switch his phone off.
“When he was admitted in hospital, his condition was critical. But now he is recovering, and physiotherapists are working on his affected hand and leg. He can now talk, but his doctors advised him to switch off his phone and take a rest for a speedy recovery. We were trying our best to keep this a secret,” the friend said.

DJ Amen’s Health Update After Suffering Stroke
Another friend, Mjostana “Pastor Mjosty” Mbhele, shared an update to ease the concerns of DJ Amen’s well-wishers.
“Although his condition was critical when he was admitted in the hospital, he is recovering compared to the time he was admitted. He is talking because his mouth was not affected,” he said.
He said doctors were dealing with his high blood pressure and diabetes while physiotherapists were dealing with his arm and leg. Pastor Mjosty said the doctors might decide to keep DJ Amen in the hospital for a little bit longer to monitor him.
“Maybe doctors will keep him in hospital for two weeks just to let physiotherapists deal with his affected arm and leg while they monitor his BP and sugar diabetes. It is quite shocking because we were still shocked by L’vovo’s stroke from last year, and now it has attacked Irvin,” he said.
