It’s not everyday that you see rapper Scarface in headlines or as the topic of conversation on social media, but that’s exactly what happened over the weekend thanks to an alarming post.
On Saturday, the “I Seen A Man Die” rapper posted a photo to Instagram of himself in the hospital hooked up to various monitors while an unidentified nurse performed aid. While he didn’t cite any specific illness or give much of an explanation as to why he was there, his caption was straight to the point.
“Ouch...Grateful,” he wrote.
In the comment section, a handful of fellow music legends shared words of support and well wishes.
“Praying for you bro,” wrote DJ Jazzy Jeff.
“Let’s go BRO, WE GOT THINGS 2 DO,” wrote Mannie Fresh.
“You got a lot of LOVE in your corner. We got this,” wrote Sway Calloway.
Over on X/Twitter, the positive messages continued with rapper Kid Cudi saying: “Prayers up for Scarface the legend.”
“Voice. Musicality. Storytelling. Emotion. Having it all is rare in music. Get well Scarface,” wrote Hot 97 host Ebro Darden.
“Sending prayers to the greatest southern rapper EVER,” said a user reposting his NPR Tiny Desk performance from December 2023.
Wrote another fan: “So heartbreaking to hear about Scarface being back in the ICU. Sending so much love and speaking so much healing over him. Literally one of the greatest and we are so blessed to exist in a time where he is still here.”
If you’ll remember, in 2021, the “Guess Who’s Back” rapper was back in the hospital for a kidney transplant about a year after he was diagnosed with COVID. Scarface told fans during an Instagram Live session at the time that the disease resulted in him being in the hospital for three weeks, coming down with pneumonia in both his lungs and ultimately suffering kidney failure.
