Ikechukwu explained that his leg issues got serious after attending a show:

"I pulled it on the 17th in the morning, and instead of calming down, I went to a show I was booked for; the following day, I couldn’t get out of bed. After two more days of dealing with the pain, I had to rush to Evercare Hospital around 3 a.m. They put drips in both of my hands with painkillers, which only lasted a little bit, and I no won risk my life with Nigerian healthcare again, so I just got a ticket straight to Yankee."
