Statik Selektah has offered fans a surprising life update, revealing that he currently remains in hospital following a recent visit to the emergency room.

The prolific producer took to Instagram on Sunday afternoon (January 14), sharing a selfie that sees him laying in a hospital bed with an oxygen tube in place to help him breathe. While he didn’t indicate exactly what landed him in the hospital, Statik’s caption made it clear that he has faced some unexpected setbacks while in the facility.

“Happy to be here. [prayer hands emoji, purple heart emoji] (ps thanks to @mama_selektah holding me down since day 1),” he added.  “Love yours. Not gone lie, i seen that light house a few times in the last 24 hours while i was under & a whole buncha other shit I’ll never forget.”

Shortly following the release of the album, 2 Chainz told the Rap Radar Podcast that Welcome 2 Collegrove, his collaboration with Lil’ Wayne, would be followed by a Statik Selekt project of his own.

“The next project I’m putting out is that Statik project,” he said. “But its a lot of upgrading, moving around and stuff like that. It’s actually fun. It’s actually really, really fun to be working on this. It’s like, no trap drums whatsoever. But I’m able to navigate through that. I’m a really good rapper, man.”
