Young Thug has opened up about his life-threatening health issues during Offset’s virtual fundraiser benefiting the Atlanta Community Food Bank.
Vibe.com reports that before launching into a performance of “Killed Before,” Thug revealed that he was diagnosed with kidney and liver failure.

The diagnosis was preceded by a debilitating health emergency that left him hospitalized for two weeks.
“So I kind of just stayed in the bed and I was like ‘Yo, call the ambulance I can’t move my body,’” he explained.
“When the ambulance came, I couldn’t get out of the bed…I felt like my whole body was numb and I couldn’t move. I went to the hospital and I found that I had liver and kidney failure. I kinda,’ sorta’ passed away. I kinda’ died. I was in the hospital for like 17 days.”
Thug went on to explain that his mother didn’t trust the hospital, so they got a second opinion from another doctor, who confirmed his diagnosis.
