Tanzanian singer Vanessa Mdee took to TikTok to share news of her successful eye surgery in the US. She posted a video dancing with her husband Rotimi, both in good spirits, with Mdee sporting a red eye patch.
“When your eye surgery was a success, Glory to God,” the caption reads.
This news comes after Mdee previously opened up about being clinically blind in one eye. In 2020, she declared;
“I’m clinically blind in one eye as well, but that has not stopped me from pursuing my biggest dreams.”

She later elaborated on the condition in a 2021 Instagram video, revealing it developed some time ago. “I got a problem that made one of my eyes blind. For some time, I have been using one eye, the other is blind,” she explained in Swahili. Mdee also emphasized her gratitude for the sight in her remaining eye and addressed rumors surrounding her condition.
