Initial reports suggested his condition was a debilitating demyelinating disease, leading to symptoms like weakness, numbness, vision problems, and loss of coordination.

In his recent interview, Drogba confirmed that he was suffering from Stiff Person Syndrome, the same condition that plagued global superstar Celine Dion.

Last year, the once viral actor reportedly received spiritual healing from the leader of the Christ Embassy Airport City Youth Church (CECY), Pastor Enoch Ofori Boamah, at his Friday Night miracle service on August 30, 2024.

Drogba denies being completely healed

In a recent interview with DJ Slim on the Streets is Watching podcast, John Peasah noted that much of what the public knows about his healing miracle from last year was inaccurate.

Drogba explained that while he felt slightly better after the miracle service, his condition did not immediately go away.

He emphasised that what he experienced after the miracle was progressive healing and not an instant cure.

According to Drogba, he is still far from a full recovery. Unfortunately, donations to his $280k fundraiser have stalled following the inaccurate reports about his condition.

In his interview, the actor shed light on his struggles as a victim of the condition, which has robbed him of his passion and career.

The condition had taken a toll on his voice, making many fans express their concern after watching the interview.
