Despite Stevie Wonder being one of the most legendary musicians to walk this Earth, some people are still side-eyeing him, for some reason. You may know of long-standing jokes that he isn’t actually blind, and he had to take a moment during a recent live performance to clear the air.
The American-Ghanian creative grabbed the mic and spoke on this conspiracy theory. He didn’t just speak on the speculations themselves, but also offered a more important message on what his condition taught him.

“I must say to all of you something that I was thinking,” Stevie Wonder remarked. “I wanted to let the world know this, but I wanted to say it right now. You know there have been rumors about me seeing and all that. But seriously, you know the truth. The truth is, shortly after my birth, I became blind. Now, that was a blessing. Because it’s allowed me to see the world in the vision of truth. See people in the spirit of them. Not how they look or what color they are, but what color is their spirit.”
