While it’s unclear why Gunn is currently en route to the hospital, the Griselda leader briefly self-admitted himself to a hospital in 2020 when he tested positive for COVID-19, a harrowing experience that he later said nearly took his life.

“I have a confession to Make I’m a Corona Survivor,” he wrote on Instagram. “I didn’t want anybody feeling sorry for me I had to thug it out for weeks I didn’t get to see my kids I went to the hospital feeling like I was breathing my last breath the fans and the love I was getting kept me strong,” he wrote on Instagram.
“I went on Tidal live and Fat Joe live but soon as I was done I was right back on the breathing machine,” he continued. “Today is the first time besides the hospital that I’m about to go outside in a month thx to the ppl who did know and held me down now I’m about to go harder than I ever have that shit tore me up inside I literally thought I was dead designing these clothes and @virgilabloh having my back and @djpremier sending me a beat kept me motivated.”
