Popular socialite, Baddy of Lagos, has returned to Nigeria following a successful first orthopedic surgery in Egypt, bringing an end to the initial stage of a medical journey that has captured widespread attention online.
Upon landing at Nigeria’s international airport, Baddy took to his X page to update his fans and well-wishers, expressing gratitude for the overwhelming support he received throughout the process. The post included a heartfelt caption thanking everyone who contributed and prayed for his recovery, highlighting the impact of collective goodwill on his journey back to health.
Baddy’s crowdfunding and corrective leg surgery
The surgery was made possible through a massive crowdfunding campaign spearheaded by fellow influencer Wizarab, who mobilized support from fans and the public, eventually raising over N20 million. Afrobeats superstar Davido contributed N3 million to the cause, helping the campaign exceed its initial target and ensuring that Baddy could receive timely medical attention for his leg deformity.
The corrective operation was carried out at the Saudi German Hospital in Egypt and lasted seven hours. The meticulous procedure focused on addressing the deformity in Baddy’s right leg, a process that required precision, care, and post-operative monitoring to ensure optimal healing and future functionality. The widespread support and fundraising drive demonstrated the solidarity of both the influencer community and Baddy’s fans, who rallied around him during a challenging period in his life.
Baddy explains doctors’ reasons for operating on one leg
After the surgery, Baddy shared that only his right leg was corrected during this first phase, with medical advice recommending that the left leg be treated in a subsequent operation. Doctors had determined that undergoing surgery on both legs simultaneously could pose excessive pain and risk, making a staggered approach safer and more effective for long-term recovery.
Baddy’s post-surgery update included a warm photo of himself with his mother at the airport upon his return, reinforcing the emotional significance of coming home after a demanding medical procedure. His caption read: “Finally home after the first stage, thank you very much for your support and prayers.. God bless you ❤️,” reflecting both gratitude and relief at reaching this milestone safely.
The influencer’s journey has resonated widely, emphasizing the importance of community support, resilience, and proper medical care. Fans have continued to send messages of encouragement, celebrating his progress and eagerly anticipating the second stage of his treatment for the left leg, which promises to complete his long-term recovery plan.
