The hip-hop community has Rich Homie Quan on their minds as the rapper recently suffered back-to back seizures and a head injury while filming a music video with Problem in Atlanta's Piedmont Park.
TMZ reports that the "Type of Way" rapper fainted after experiencing heat exhaustion and then suffered a seizure.
The site also reports that Quan hit the ground, smashed his head badly and paramedics were called. He was taken to an Atlanta hospital for emergency treatment.
XXL reported on the current status of the rapper. Quan's label, Think It's A Game Entertainment, issued the following statement to the magazine.
"We just want to say thank you to everybody who was praying for him and appreciate everybody support. He's doing well, he's just resting right now. They released him from the hospital last night. He's just resting up. We're not going to be doing any shows for a little while until he gets better, but he's in good health, and he's in good spirits. ...He was initially at Grady Memorial Hospital then was moved to Piedmont Hospital. He fell and suffered a gash over his eye and abrasion on his face. But he's good now. He just been working hard. I think it was more so exhaustion. He's going to be doing shows; he just taking a break. It was a traumatizing experience. I can't give an exact date when he'll be better, but right now he's just going to take some time off to be better. We just thank everybody for the support. Everybody all over just has been so supportive in this whole ordeal, and that really helps not only him but the team, just to know that many people really support the movement. We're just thankful that people are actually that concerned and supportive."
Quan also sent out a tweet to his fans with an update on his condition.
First and foremost I want to Thank God for his blessings. Your boy just been grinding too hard. Thanks for all of the prayers... I'm okay
