A family member of the well-known social media figure Young Don has stepped forward to clarify recent claims regarding his serious health struggles, which he attributed to a car accident in the United States. In a video shared on social media, this relative openly challenged Young Don’s assertions while discussing his lifestyle choices in South Africa.
The comments made by Young Don’s family have sparked a mix of responses from Ghanaians on various social media platforms. The controversy began when Young Don, who had been largely absent from social media since July 2025, resurfaced to discuss his health concerns. He had previously informed his followers about a leg injury sustained in a car crash and mentioned plans to engage in evangelical work following his recovery.
On January 1, 2026, a UK-based TikTok personality, known as Gucci Derkyi, shared an audio clip in which Young Don expressed that his health had deteriorated significantly. This revelation has reignited discussions around his well-being and the authenticity of his claims.
As the situation develops, the public continues to react, with discussions about accountability and the impact of lifestyle choices on health taking center stage.
