Dancehall artist Stonebwoy has responded to critics who continue to call him a “cripple”, dismissing them as “not in the right frame of mind”. The musician, whose real name is Livingstone Etse Satekla, shared his story of an accident and his long-term struggle with a damaged knee on the BBC’s This Is Africa. Stonebwoy recounted how he was involved in a road accident while en route to the United States, which left him hospitalized for several months with a stiff knee.

He endured years of living with the injury, eventually undergoing surgery in Germany in 2016 to receive an artificial prosthesis and a total knee replacement. During his appearance on the BBC program, Stonebwoy opened up about the accident that drastically altered his life and his journey to becoming one of Africa’s leading dancehall artistes.
