Michael Stephens, a Nigerian rapper better known as Ruggedman, has put smiles on the faces of two women this yuletide as settled their hospital bills, thereby ensuring they spend Christmas at home with their loved ones.
In a statement issued by the rapper’s media team on Tuesday, the two women had been in the hospital since May and June respectively for lack of funds to settle their hospital bills.
Ruggedy Baba, as the music artiste is fondly called, explained that he was contacted by Skimpy of Lasgidi FM of a woman who had been at a hospital in the Mowe Ibafo area of Ogun State for almost six months because she could not pay the bills.
According to the rapper, investigation of the situation, which he contacted Ms. Celestina of Marshall Belt of Investigation to conduct, further revealed that there was another lady who had been there since May 2021 with the same bill problem.
It was also learnt that the first woman, unfortunately, lost her child.
Moved by their plight, Ruggedman, in furtherance of his humanitarian work, posted details of the development on his social media pages and appealed to the public for donations.
After five days of appeal and donations, funds were generated and by 19 December, Ruggedman helped the women to eventually settle their bills.
He also gave them some cash to take home for Christmas, and they expressed their appreciation to the artiste for the gesture he showed towards them.
