The TikToker revealed that she was diagnosed with the heart problem after taking Covid-19 vaccination.
“I don’t take alcohol at all, I am under medication. I am suffering heart problem, after the Corona vaccination I developed this condition. But even before that I stopped drinking 10 years ago. I am clean I don’t drink at all. I don’t use anything, I am always sober,” Nyako said.
“I am having a heart condition that lands me in the hospital most of the time. I don’t drink a lot of water and then my heart gets clogged and I have to be attended to. You know Germany, the medical response is number one. If you are suffering from a heart condition like me you just press the dial and the whole team is at the doorstep. So I am having a heart condition that keeps me in the hospital always but so far so good I have good medication,” she added.
The controversial Germany-based TikToker further revealed that she was christened ‘Nyako’ by fellow sex workers while she was still working as a prostitute in Kenya.
“[My real name is] Rose Atieno. Nyako came from the street, I used to be a prostitute that is where the name came from. From the ‘Njeris’, the gave me that name,” Nyako said.
Asked if she felt ashamed for saying she used to be a prostitute, Nyako said she could not change her past. She added that her past made her who she is today.
