Sinbad Shares First Social Media Posts Since Stroke In 2020

Comedian Sinbad shared his first social media post since suffering from a stroke in 2020.

Sinbad joined his A Different World cast on Zoom for a tour of historically black colleges and universities. The tour began at the Atlanta University Center.

In his video, Sinbad watched a clip from the event and began crying as he saw all of the college students watching him in an auditorium.

“Thank you for your prayers, support, and positive thoughts,” he captioned the post. “They’ve carried me this far and will see me through to the finish line. It really is a different world out here!”

“Expect to see more of me soon, and don’t freak out if you turn around and I’m standing right behind you,” he continued. “‘Sinbad I can’t believe you’re here!’ You can’t believe it? You better believe it. Miracles happen.”

The comments section was flooded by celebrities who wished Sinbad well.

“Aw man, I can’t stop grinning! Love you, Sinbad! So good to see you, brother,” Wanda Sykes wrote.

“Glad to see you doing so well! You were always riotously hilarious and super nice to everyone at the clubs when I was starting out. An inspiration to so many,” director Judd Apatow chimed in.

Sinbad suffered his stroke in 2020 as a result of a blood clot that traveled from his heart to his brain. He stayed in the hospital for nine months following the event, and his family revealed in 2022 that he was still in the process of relearning how to walk.

“Survival odds from this type of event are approximately 30 percent,” his family said at the time. “Sinbad has already beaten the odds and has made significant progress beyond what anyone expected, but there are still miles to go.”
