The social commentator, who had been likened to his compatriot Twene Jonas because of his utterances, noted that he had taken a hiatus from social media for several months due to the unfortunate incident in the US.
Young Don also showed his right foot, heavily bandaged, stating that he was unable to walk without the assistance of crutches and had been at home for a while.

In an audio recording shared by UK-based TikToker Gucci Derkyi on Thursday, January 1, 2026, Young Don appeared to be unwell as he shared that his health condition had worsened.
The social commentator noted that he had been informed by doctors that they needed to amputate one of his legs due to the severity of the injury he suffered in the accident in 2025.
Young Don stated that he risked losing his other leg if he failed to undergo the medical surgery, remarking:
"With regards to my leg, they [doctors] say they will have to amputate it. They said my other leg will be affected if they do not amputate the other one. They will have to do a surgery on it if I don't allow them to amputate it."
The controversial social media personality noted that his health problems had affected his finances and that he had become bankrupt.
