He was, however, convinced to carry out the surgery in Nigeria after he initially opted for an operation in the United States of America.
DJ Jimmy Jatt revealed that he was happy that the surgery was a success and a chance at life for a second time.
"For me I'm excited. I'm happy I have a second chance at life. That is the most important thing to me. What will happen after, I think God will guide us," he said.
The veteran said he is ready to go on any social media platform to spread the gospel about kidney diseases and their treatments.
I want to be the face of the survival of kidney disease. I have been through it," he said.
