Members of Rygin King’s management team want to dispell rumors that the artist is paralyzed. These rumors have been making the rounds on numerous Dancehll and Reggae websites but the deejay’s team wants his fans to know that he is well on his way to a full recovery.
“The deejay is not paralysed. I cannot go into specifics about his medical condition but the deejay is responding favourably to treatment and he has tingling in his legs…and he has feeling and is responding to stimulus in his lower legs and extremities. We want people to stop the rumour-spreading and speculation about the deejay’s health at this time,” a member of Rygin King’s team told 18 Karat Reggae.
