August Alsina says he is “sicker than ever.”
A few days ago, August Alsina posted an alarming message on his Instagram that sent fans into a frenzy.
The 24 year old “I Luv This Sh*t” singer wrote, “I’ve been living my life in so much dis-ease that I’ve literally created it within myself… God has invested something inside of me, But I am not afraid of this Agony because I know that God pulls us back to shoot us FORWARD. 🏹”
He added, “& To my lovely and loyal fans.. Please take care of yourself and your bodies & your SOULS. A beautiful face will fade, a beautiful body will too fade, but a beautiful soul is that FOREVER. I have so much to share, until I do.. Please say a prayer 🙏🏾 -AA”
The cryptic message left fans confused, but Alsina later returned to Instagram to clear the air once and for all. Apparently, Alsina has been battling liver disease. During an intense sitdown with Jada Pinkett Smith, Alsina opens up about his deteriorating health.
In a short video, Alsina tells Pinkett, “I’m sicker than ever and having a hard time accepting what I feel and what the doctors are saying is most true. I have a liver disease. My autoimmune system is fighting itself. The reality is that I’m sick all the time. I don’t really like to talk about it because I’m not looking for anybody’s sympathy. Don’t treat me like I’m a f*ckin’ cancer patient — because I’m not.”
Alsina captioned the clip, “Please excuse my defense mechanism in this clip.. I’m sicker than ever & having a hard time accepting what I feel & what the Doctors are saying is most true. After sitting down and talking with my fathers mother and sister.. They explained to me that sickness & illness runs in my family. My father & grandfather both died of severe illness. 😞😒 but they were FIGHTERS & that’s all that matters. 💪🏽✨✨✨ Just ride with me is all I ask.”
Back in 2014, Alsina collapsed on stage during a performance in New York City. He later slipped into a coma for three days. Less than a year later, Alsina revealed that his sight was declining, forcing him to undergo surgery to save his vision.
