The Movida nightclub front man has shut down his highly patronized night club as he battles with diabetes and kidney related diseases. The club was being run by his brother while Akeem tried to get better, but for reasons not made public, the club was shut down last week Friday...prompting the death rumour.
"I am alive, hale and hearty,' the once bulky businessman said 'Though I have been sick for sometime now and that's known to people. Death is not my portion'.

Akeem has lost a lot of weight since falling sick and now supports himself with a walking stick to move around. Close friends believe he will get better soon as he is currently undergoing comprehensive medical treatment
