The Johannesburg-based artist and social media star revealed that the incident, which left him in considerable pain, took place in the early hours of Monday, 23 September, after he had attended the Delicious Festival and its after-party celebrations.
The accident occurred in Rosebank at approximately 4 am. According to DJ Nkanyezi, another car ran through a red traffic light, forcing him and his companions to attempt to swerve out of the way.

He also mentioned that the accident has taken an emotional and physical toll on him. “It’s draining me emotionally and mentally,” Nkanyezi said. He revealed that he has been experiencing excruciating pain in his back and legs due to the injuries he sustained. “I fractured my left leg, and I’m having difficulty walking or even sitting. I was discharged from the hospital and have been put on strict bed rest.”https://www.instagram.com/p/DAbasC0MBGf/?igsh=MzRlODBiNWFlZA==
