Description
Winston Foster, better known by the stage name Yellowman, is a Jamaican reggae and dancehall deejay, also known as King Yellowman. He first became popular in Jamaica in the 1980s, rising to prominence with a series of singles that established his reputation. He was abandoned by his parents (literally left in a dumpster), but was rescued and and raised in a Catholic orphanage Alpha Boys School. There, he was shunned due to having albinism, which was not typically socially accepted in Jamaica. After being diagnosed with cancer a few years later, he underwent very invasive jaw surgery to remove a malignant tumor. This surgery permanently disfigured his face, as a large portion of the left side of his lower jaw had to be removed to successfully remove the tumor. Yet, still he goes on. Long live THE KING OF DANCEHALL!
