Kali Muscle, renowned for starring in several TV shows, movies, and commercials, suffered a life-threatening heart attack in 2021. Although he grieved about his situation, he was grateful for the second chance to live. In conjunction with this, he sent out a strong message to his fans about the value of health.

Coming from a rough childhood, Kali had no choice but to be recklessly bold in dealing with things. Perhaps he reflected a similar attitude to how he viewed his health. A video posted on his YouTube channel features ailing Kali on a hospital bed, wiping tears and sharing the lessons of life he learned the hard way.

The bodybuilding sensation regretted his carelessness

In the video, Kali shared details of his negligence of edema in his feet and ankles for years. He added, he didn’t think much of it when he was young, but people used to tell him, “..it’s a sign of heart failure.” Describing him as “tough a**”, he admitted, ignoring the warnings, saying, “I ain’t got no heart problems or nothing like that.”

Kali shared that he woke up with chest pains one day. When no remedy could alleviate them, he was taken to the hospital. The tests revealed that his left artery was clogged completely, which prevented blood supply to the left part of his body.
