He revealed that the diagnosis of his friend's sickness was late but didn't want to say too much about it. He knows for a fact that if the diagnosis of his cancer had come earlier, treatment would have been much easier to.

He said “For a long time, I did not want to accept that fact, it was like a joke. The diagnosis was late. We thought it was malaria, he did tests in Nigeria. But I don’t want to get into all that.”
Sound Sultan died on July 11, 2021. He was 44 years old when he passed away in the US.
