It is unclear what the illness was however in a recent interview with SVTV Africa, Paa Joe disclosed that he became frustrated after his retirement and eventually became an alcoholic.
“Yes, the drinking was because of frustration. Because if someone confesses that he or she is the one that caused your leg injury or caused this. So I might even want to do him or her something. I’m a human being too. But I did not,” he disclosed.
