Olaxess, who was rumored to be seeing multiple women whom he kept a very low profile with, passed away childless due to infertility.

The 59-year-old confessed, when attending church in Nansana in February of this year at Pastor Wilson Bugembe’s The Worship House, that therapeutic treatment had helped him deal with the stigma that had made it extremely difficult for him to come up about his long-standing problem and infertility;

“I have numerous issues. My family’s firstborn child is me. But I believed that many of my aspirations would come true when I moved overseas (to Sweden). It was, however, the contrary. Isma stated earlier this year, “Taking testing to understand our medical concerns is not our culture in Africa where we have grown up.

“The courage to discuss this subject in public was one of the things this therapy helped me do. Despite all of my body’s organs working properly, the doctors informed me I would never be able to have children. I nearly went insane,” he continued.
