Houston rap legend Scarface is updating fans on his condition a month after he revealed his own battle with the novel coronavirus COVID-19 and says he’s glad to be alive.
In a recent interview with fellow Geto Boy member Willie D (on Willie D Live), Scarface reveals the same day he informed fans that he was diagnosed with COVID-19, he was enduring even more health issues while under quarantine.
“I fought the COVID, double bilateral pneumonia and kidney failure, all in my house,” Face says while hooked up to a blood stint to help regulate his kidneys.
“This my new lifeline,” he says of his dialysis port. “I gotta change my entire diet. I gotta do dialysis four times a week, three hours a day. That’s taking all of my blood out, cleaning it, and putting it back in my body. Before the COVID, I never had kidney problems before.”
Since his initial revelation, Scarface has been mostly mum on social media, occasionally checking in with friends as they streamed live on Instagram. Ice-T mentioned he spoke to Scarface earlier this week during a live stream for the Universal Hip Hop Museum Fundraiser and that The Diary rapper’s health had suffered greatly due to COVID-19.
On April 23, COVID-19 claimed the life of one Hip Hop figure, New York’s Fred The Godson. Slim Thug was the first notable artist to reveal his diagnosis with COVID-19 but shared he recently tested negative after self-quarantining for two weeks.
Not to make light of the situation but eating bbq wings and fried chicken, smoking blunts while pounding 40’s is the exact recipe to end up on dialysis. Get smart peeps. This disease is affecting black & brown disproportionately. Be healthy. Prayers to Brad Jordan
Damn, that’s all black people do and eat? News to me…
Fried chicken, smoking blunts, while pounding 40’s? Fukk outta here. You mentioned black and brown are suffering but you say this bullshit? Hispanics are actually dying at higher rates than even blacks. Think they should lay-off the tacos, cerveza and marihuana?!?
The refried mexican is a caucasian racist. His name is offensive to Mexicans and his generalizations about the diets of blacks is offensive. One question, why is it that your race feels justified in playing victim when you’ve enslaved/terrorized every other race on the planet?
You’re doing it wrong, Corona!!!!! You’re supposed to be killing all of the WACK, TRASH, mumble rappers. You know- Blueface, Uzi Vert, Future, Young Thug, Lil Baby, Blac Youngsta, Yo Gotti, Drake, basically every mainstream rapper except Cole and Kendrick. Don’t take away the greats!!!!!!!!
Mornin’ to you, suburb white kid who thinks every single hip hop song has to be Immortal Technique esque
LMAO!
How he was doing was on my mind this morning for some reason. Hope he can get a kidney transplant.
Double bilateral huh lmao bilateral MEANS double
No dumb ass mean both sides lmao
Damn bro…this reminds me of Phife Dawg’s situation a few years back (RIP). Hopefully Facemob can find a matching kidney donor and get a transplant.
Corona helped along a lingering situation. This virus doesn’t take a person in good health and cause kidney failure. Face hasn’t exactly been the picture of health throughout his life and those folks are most vulnerable. Shouts to him tho, hope he pulls through! Hope everybody affected can pull thru.
Uh, the virus does take people in good health. There’s plenty of cases of young people in good health being wiped out by this. It’s a dangerous assumption to make.
I said it doesn’t cause Kidney Failure in a healthy person. Never said it doesn’t take people in good health.
Yes it does
Idk what makes ppl think they are experts on this virus as if you need an underlying condition for it to claim your life. I don’t think people fully understand the way a virus works. It will not react in the same pattern for everyone, just recently they found out it’s causing strokes for young people because of the intense strain it puts on your immune system to combat it. Those who say it’s killing at a slow place are just brain dead (god forbid) Look at the ratio this is war numbers. The point is you don’t want this shit on you..imagine combating this virus yearly with the flu season. Ppl still catch the flu regardless if they take a shot ..it’s not a game ..the way we live is changing in front of our eyes.
Ok doomer
Prayers up Face! ????????
