In the video, the dancehall star had his head covered. However, one could see that his face was swollen on the cheeks, clearly indicating that his health is not very good.
Meanwhile netizens have reacted to the video urging the singer to focus on regaining his health.

In a unanimous decision Wednesday, the court decided against a retrial in the murder of Clive “Lizard” Williams, whose body was never found.
The stunning decision means that Vybz Kartel, Shawn Campbell, Kahira Jones, and Andre St. John will be released after years behind bars.
“We conclude that the interest of justice does not require a new trial to be ordered,” the court read.
The court said Wednesday, that there was sufficient evidence to suggest that Kartel would not be able to complete a potentially longer sentence if there were to be a retrial.
The court cited the “psychological and financial effects that it would have on the appellants,” referring to Kartel’s health.
Vybz Kartel, formally known as Adidja Palmer – and his three co-defendants have been behind bars in a Jamaican prison since their arrests in 2011, and subsequent 2014 conviction, for the murder of Clive “Lizard” Williams, whose body was never found.
