Chechen warlord Ramzan Kadyrov on Tuesday told other officials in the quasi-autonomous Russian state he was just fine, don’t worry about him during a televised meeting in which Kadyrov’s lieutenants seemed aghast by his noticeably bloated appearance, the Daily Beast reports.
“People are attributing various diseases to me: Sometimes I have problems with my kidneys, sometimes with the liver. And they come up to me with different treatments, as if they know my medical history. I even began to have doubts and underwent medical tests, maybe I really am sick,” Kadyrov said before having the Chechen health minister confirm that he’s doing just fine.
