The often glamorous world of comedy has been hit by a sobering reality check.
Popular entertainer and YouTuber 2mbili has sounded a public alarm after his colleague, comedian Squirro, was rushed to the hospital over the weekend following a collapse, where doctors reportedly diagnosed him with “Deep Depression.”
The news, shared on 2mbili’s social media, has sparked an urgent campaign for financial and emotional support for Squirro, highlighting the severe mental health challenges faced by even those whose job is to bring joy to others.
According to 2mbili’s emotional post, the crisis began when Squirro, known for his work in numerous clips and shows alongside figures like Terence Creative, collapsed at his home on Saturday.
“I visited comedian Squirro at the hospital where he got admitted after collapsing in his house on Saturday!! The doctor in charge told me this guy is in deep depression!! Managed to help him out of the hospital & took him back to his empty house in Kabiria!! Let’s stand with him before its late!!”
The severity of the diagnosis has spurred 2mbili into immediate action, not only facilitating Squirro’s discharge but also making a plea for the community to rally around him.
The appeal also shed light on Squirro’s dire financial straits facing him, noting he was taken back to his “Empty House in Kabiria.”
2mbili confirmed that he had an intimate discussion with Squirro, and the details are set to be featured on his YouTube show, “TOO PERSONAL WITH 2MBILI,” where he hopes to give the public a deeper understanding of the situation.
2mbili urged fans and the public to stand with Squirro now, before it is too late. The comedian provided a mobile money number for direct support: SEND ANY SUPPORT TO HIM 0791 009 543!!
