The fans of iconic singer, Olanrewaju Fasasi, fondly known as Sound Sultan, are currently praying for his health as there have been reports that the singer has been diagnosed with throat cancer and currently undergoing chemotherapy in the United States.
Chemotherapy is the treatment of disease by the use of chemical substances, especially the treatment of cancer by cytotoxic and other drugs.
When the report reached a very close friend of the singer, the source affirmed that the singer is in the United States but the purpose of his visit is unknown.

Since the news made rounds, friends and fans of the singer have taken to social media to wish the singer well.
Popular social media influencer, Tunde Ednut, tweeted, “Pray for Sound Sultan. He is currently battling for his life because of throat cancer.”
Sending prayers to the singer, a fan, Uncle AJ, via his handle @UNCLE_AJALA, tweeted, “Omo I just read that Sound Sultan has been diagnosed with throat cancer. I hope he will get all the help he needs to overcome this, and may God give him the strength to beat this illness.”(sic)
