LOS ANGELES — Adult star Prince Yahshua has suffered a medical setback similar to the one he had in 2010 and will need a similar surgery on his member, putting him out of work for up to four weeks.
Yahshua's surgery and after-care will cost more $32K.
OC Modeling, the talent agency that has represented the three-time Urban X Male Performer of the Year since April, has started a fundraising page through GoFundMe.com.
“Blown away is what I feel right now,” Yahshua said. “I'm saddened to tell the industry and my diehard fans around the world that the injury that sidelined me three years ago has come back to bite me in a big way. After seeing and talking to my doctor on Friday, I was informed once again that I must go under the knife to repair bad tissue damage ASAP.
"Today, my heart is a lot happier after seeing what Sandra [McCarthy] and OCM has done for me by starting this fundraiser—I’m speechless! I’d like to thank Sandra, OCM and the fans and companies that have made me who I am today.”
McCarthy, the co-owner of OC, remarked, “When Prince contacted me with the devastating news, I was at a loss for words...tears were rolling down my cheeks.
"I knew I needed to help him emotionally and financially, so I started this fundraiser to help ease the pressure of the huge expenses that were on the way. Healthcare is unaffordable, and Prince doesn’t have a plan due to his pre-existing condition, so he’ll have to pay for the entire surgery out-of-pocket. Lately, the industry seems to have been taking hit after hit, but we all need to stick together and unite as one, so we can get through whatever life throws at us.”
Yahshua is asking his fans and industry friends help him with the cost of the surgery and give whatever they can by clicking here.
