On Friday, January 2, 2026, Young Don returned to social media after a hiatus of nearly seven months, since July 2025.

He also shared his plans to embark on some evangelical works after his recovery.
Young Don speaks about his health issues
In an audio recording shared by UK-based TikToker Gucci Derkyi on Thursday, January 1, 2026, Young Don claimed that his health condition had worsened.
The social commentator noted that doctors informed him 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, and noted that his health problems had affected his finances and that he had become bankrupt.
He stated that his family members had also withdrawn their financial support and regularly complained about how he was burdening them with his health issues.
Young Don noted that he was facing death and appealed to Ghanaians for financial support to recover from his current predicament.
In a subsequent TikTok live session, the social media personality noted that he was stranded in Johannesburg, South Africa, after travelling there to seek medical attention for his health problems.
Young Don apologised to Otumfuo Osei Tutu II and his former rival Bishop Ajagurajah over his past utterances towards them.
