Scarface's Horrendous Health Battle
Scarface survived his months-long battle against COVID-19, and it was not an easy journey for him.
In March 2020, chron.com reported that the legendary Houston rapper was tested positive for the virus. According to Scarface, he first experienced an itch in his throat for a few weeks and began taking medicine for it.
A few days later, he developed a fever that was high enough for him to be rushed to the emergency room. After receiving treatment, he reportedly did not feel any better and revisited the medical facility.
At that time, he finally tested positive for COVID-19.
As an asthma patient, the rapper struggled so much he felt like an "elephant was sitting on his chest." Unfortunately, his symptoms persisted and got worse to the point that he needed a kidney donor to save his life.
A year later, they found out that his son, Chris, was a match. The transplantation was immediately scheduled afterward.
