Rapper Professor Jay hospitalized, friends appeal for medical aid

Popular Tanzanian rapper Joseph Haule better known as Professor Jay, has been hospitalized for three weeks.

According to reports, the singer is undergoing specialized treatment for a condition that the family is yet to reveal.

Confirming Prof Jay hospitalization, fellow musician AY said the veteran singer has over time shown signs of progress but prayers will also go a long way in helping the former Mikumi MP get back on his feet.

“Our brother Professor Jay has been unwell for around three weeks now and is undergoing specialized treatment at the Muhimbili National Hospital

“There is progress but let us keep praying for his full recovery. For now, the family has opted not to make his ailment public but all this will be disclosed in due course,” said AY.

“The family has not formally asked for financial assistance but as friends we are obligated to come through for him during this period. He has been a mentor and brother to most of us and has entertained us for over two decades.”he added .

According to AY, the singer roughly uses  Sh200,000 per week for treatment and although the family is paying a significant percentage of the bill, additional help would go a long way in easing the burden.

The Nikusaidiaje hit maker ventured into  politics in 2015 after he was elected Member of Parliament Mikumi constituency.

He later lost the seat in 2020 to his opponent Chama Cha Mapinduzi (CCM) candidate Denis Lazaro.
