Biz Markie Reportedly Suffers Stroke, Brain Affected
According to reports, hip hop legend Biz Markie reportedly suffered a stroke and isn’t doing too well.
The OG has privately been dealing with health issues for most of the year. Back in July, REVOLT reported that Markie was hospitalized for weeks due to Type 2 diabetes complications after news began circulating that he was battling Coronavirus, a claim his representative denied. Markie’s spokesperson also confirmed to TMZ at the time that he was “receiving the best care from an amazing team of medical professionals,” and added that he was “positive about the outcome.”
However, now we’re learning that the star reportedly had a stroke during his hospitalization. “He’s not doing great, but it’s not as scandalous as it felt in the beginning,” someone close to Markie told HipHopDX. “Short story is Biz is diabetic, he had slipped into a diabetic coma, but that has happened to him in the past and it would only last a little while. He would go to the hospital, get discharged and get his meds under control. This particular time, he had a stroke while he was in the middle of the coma.”
