Dancehall artiste Rygin King has dropped a bombshell on fans after revealing that he is paralyzed and currently has to move around with the aid of a wheelchair. The revelation was made on Tuesday afternoon via social media.

Currently undergoing therapy, aided by professionals with the hope of being able to walk again one day, the Montego Bay-based deejay has maintained a covert presence since the ordeal but provided a glimpse into his difficulties,
