Young Bleed remains in intensive care after a brain aneurysm diagnosis, days after performing at the Cash Money vs. No Limit Verzuz.
Young Bleed was rushed to the ICU after suffering a brain aneurysm just days after performing at the Cash Money vs. No Limit Verzuz showdown — a diagnosis his son’s mother has now confirmed.
The Baton Rouge rapper, known for his 1998 hit “How Ya Do Dat,” experienced a medical emergency on Saturday, October 25.
Tameka Long, who shares a child with the 52-year-old artist, confirmed that doctors diagnosed him with a brain aneurysm caused by internal bleeding, TMZ reports.
“He is still currently in ICU and his mother asked if you all would respect her wishes and not make any RIP posts,” Young Bleed’s sister Tedra wrote on social media, addressing false reports of his death circulating online.
Long also revealed that the rapper has long battled high blood pressure and a heart condition. Despite being placed on a ventilator, she said his vital signs remain stable and the family is hopeful for a full recovery.
The medical scare came shortly after Young Bleed took the stage at ComplexCon, where he performed alongside other Southern rappers during a nostalgic Verzuz event celebrating the legacies of Cash Money and No Limit Records.
Master P, who signed Young Bleed to No Limit in the late ’90s, also acknowledged the rapper’s condition and asked for support.
Young Bleed made his mark in Southern Hip-Hop with his debut album My Balls and My Word, which featured collaborations with Master P and Snoop Dogg. His gritty delivery and storytelling helped define No Limit’s golden era.
His family continues to ask for privacy as he remains under medical care.
