Krayzie Bone has recently recovered from a near-fatal health scare — and doctors didn’t think he’d pull through.
Back in 2016, the Bone Thugs-N-Harmony MC was diagnosed with a rare condition called pulmonary sarcoidosis, but he’d always pulled through with any past hospitalizations. However, as he told Spin Magazine in an article published Tuesday (December 12), this last hospitalization nearly cost him his life.

“I didn’t even know how serious it was until I woke up. They informed me of everything that was going on,” he said. “The doctors in the ICU, I don’t know if it’s what they see every day, but their outlook was grim. They were like, ‘He might not make it out of here. The lung function on the left side is completely dead. He will need a lung transplant.’ This is everything they’re telling my family when I’m in the process of waking up.”
He continued: “When I wake up, everybody’s looking grim. They tell me this and I’m like, ‘OK.’ They were gearing me up for a lung transplant, so they sent me right over to the Ronald Reagan Center because my primary doctor, when she heard them talking about a transplant, she was like, ‘Wait, let’s slow down here. This is my patient. I just had a visit with him and he just had one of the best breathing tests. We need to slow this down. I don’t think he needs a lung transplant.’ That’s why I was in the hospital for so long. They were doing a whole evaluation.”

Back in October, the Bone Thugs-N-Harmony rapper took to Instagram to reveal that he “won the battle” after fighting for his life for almost a week and a half.
“Just fought for life literally for 9 days straight,” he wrote underneath a photo of him in a hospital bed hooked up to oxygen and an IV drip. “And I only won the battle this time because I know Jehovah God was with me every step of the way fighting for me.

“Never take life for granted enjoy it while you have it! Thank you all for your thoughts and prayers trust me I needed every last one of them – KB.”
Three 6 Mafia’s DJ Paul revealed he was in the studio with Krayzie Bone working on a joint album the day before he went into hospital.
“Before it got out to the press, one of our close homies out in L.A. that’s both one of our mutual homies — he used to tour with Krayzie before I even knew him, my boy Sean — he hit me,” he told TMZ.
“He said, ‘When’s the last time you talked to Krayzie?’ I said, ‘Well, I was just with him Wednesday.’ He said, ‘Well, Thursday, he went into the hospital. He took himself to the hospital. He was coughing up blood.’

“I’m like, ‘What? Really? I saw him Wednesday.’ He was in a great mood. He was doing good. He brought me his new IPA that he brought out. We was in there chilling. It’s the first time I didn’t take pictures of us in the studio.”
