Bleed fell ill shortly after the Verzuz, where we witnessed him performing his iconic hit, “How Ya Do Dat,” and Tameka tells us doctors confirmed to the family it was indeed a brain aneurysm caused by internal bleeding.
Tameka and Bleed share a 10-year-old son, and other family members have been vocal on social media about prayers and support.
The 47-year-old rapper is currently resting in an ICU at a hospital in Las Vegas, on a ventilator, but Tameka says Bleed’s vitals are OK, so they have confidence he’ll make it out and recover. He’s been actively releasing music this year, so the health scare was unexpected.
Bleed’s mother started a GoFundMe to assist with mounting medical bills — and it should be considered the only official account for fans to donate to.
