Freeway has been in need of a kidney transplant since 2015. On Monday (June 18), longtime collaborator Beanie Sigel excitedly shared the news that Freeway got a call that a kidney was available.
Sadly, the good news was fleeting.
The Philly rapper set the record straight in an Instagram video he posted on Tuesday (June 19).
“I did get called for a kidney and they called me back probably a few hours after that and the kidney was not usable so no one got the kidney,” he said. “I was not able to get the kidney. The great thing is I’m starting to get calls for the kidney now so it feels great, it feels amazing and I appreciate all the prayers from everybody.”
He captioned the video with, “Thanks for all the Prayers Love & support!! #thinkfree.”
Freeway is prepping the release of Think Free, which is expected to arrive on June 22. The 13-track project features Fat Joe, Jadakiss, Faith Evans and more. A teaser of his collaboration with Lil Wayne, “Blood Pressure,” popped up online last month.
Check out Sigel’s original announcement below.

Freeway is the only rapper from SP who is still consistently strong. Really hope the guy gets what he needs. He’s not looking well.
Young chris too… ur prayers for this man
Damn son!
JAY-Z is the only artist that made it out of Roc-a-fella with their mental and physical ad financial health in tact. DAMN!
we brothers got to take care of our heath in our youth less drinking and smoking and more eating proper
I think his was a genetic problem.
I hope it works out for him. I had a homie who was waiting on one for so long back in the day that he eventually lost his eyesight and shit. It can be stressful.
What the hell is that on his right bicep? Looks like a twisted up muscle or something..
Dialysis.
Good luck to Freeway! Isn`t there anyone in his family or someone close he can get one from?
My Father had to do the transplant twice because of complications the first time.
I hope he gets a better match than my fathers first time.
