Journalist Raúl de Molina provided more details about Don Omar's health status on the Univision program El Gordo y La Flaca after the Puerto Rican artist underwent cancer surgery.
It was on Monday when the famous reggaeton artist announced through a post that he had cancer. One day later, via the same channel, he shared that the surgery he underwent had been successful and that he was recovering from the procedure. However, now the Cuban journalist has revealed more details about the surgery.
According to the host of the program, Don Omar had one of his kidneys removed due to a cancerous tumor.
"Yesterday, I received great joy when Don Omar called to inform me that his operation had gone well, an intervention that lasted four hours, and that he was already feeling better. The effects of the anesthesia were still noticeable in his voice, but the happiness was immense when he said to me, 'They've taken away my cancer,'" said De Molina, who nearly two decades ago also had a kidney removed after being diagnosed with cancer.
"Speaking with Don Omar, I learned that he had his left kidney removed, and I had my right one taken out. William, I wish you all the best. Now we have something in common; we both only have one kidney," he added.
In light of the good news regarding Don Omar's health, supporters, fellow artists, and colleagues from the music industry have sent their best wishes and messages of strength for his recovery.
"Today I woke up cancer-free and grateful. Thank you for your good wishes, prayers, and thousands of messages. My surgery was a complete success, and now I just need to recover," wrote the 46-year-old singer.
