He opened up about his epilepsy in a 2013 interview. “The bad news is I’m an epileptic,” he told Power 106.
“I’m prone to seizures. This isn’t my first, second, third, fourth, fifth, sixth, seventh seizure.
I’ve had a bunch of seizures, ya’ll just never hear about them. But this time it got real bad ’cause I had three of them in a row and on the third one, my heart rate went down to like 30 percent. Basically, I could’ve died, so that is why it was so serious.”
