Scarface On Dialysis After Coronavirus Causes Kidney Failure


Scarface updated fellow Geto Boy, Willie D, about his condition after being diagnosed with coronavirus, revealing that he is on dialysis after suffering kidney failure.

Scarface revealed during an interview with his fellow Geto Boy member, Willie D, that he’s currently on dialysis due to kidney failure after suffering from health complications as a result of coronavirus. Ever since he announced to the world that he’d tested positive for the respiratory virus about a month ago, Scarface has been keeping fairly quiet about his health status. The Houston MC has hopped onto a few close friends’ live streams to give brief updates on his medical condition, but on Wednesday (April 22nd), he went into great detail about how coronavirus has severely affected his health.

Hooked up to a blood stint to help regulate his kidneys, Scarface told Willie that the same day that he told the public that he’d contracted coronavirus, he was also battling various other health problems, as well. “I fought the COVID, double bilateral pneumonia and kidney failure, all in my house,” he revealed. “This my new lifeline,” he continued, referring to dialysis. “I gotta change my entire diet. I gotta do dialysis four times a week, three hours a day. That’s taking all of my blood out, cleaning it, and putting it back in my body. Before the COVID, I never had kidney problems before.”

This week, we lost New York rapper Fred The Godson to coronavirus, less than a month after he’d been diagnosed.Slim Thug was also among the rappers that tested positive for coronavirus, but on Wednesday, he updated his fans that his most recent test results had come back negative. Here’s hoping that Scarface’s medical condition improves soon. Watch his full conversation with Willie D below:

Scarface reveals that he has tested positive for the coronavirus and gives Willie D a rundown of his battle.

Brad Terrence Jordan, better known as the rapper Scarface, has officially tested positive for the coronavirus. The news was revealed during a live stream between Face and his Geto Boys partner Willie D, who appeared visibly shaken by the unfortunate news.

“It’s the craziest shit I’ve ever done and seen in my life,” explains Scarface. “I’ve been to the point where I thought I was going to die, bro. I threw up so much until it was just hot sauce. Like your gas and acids don’t sit in your stomach. I didn’t have no food in my stomach, it was coming up like bile, bro. I couldn’t breathe well. I was Hazmat, homie.”

“I got to feeling really really really bad,” he continues. “It started off with pneumonia in both of my lungs. Three-four days later my kidneys failed. Three or four days after that they told me I can’t move, I’m quarantined. I gotta wait until it subsides so I can wait and see what goes on with my kidneys now.”

Scarface also confirms that he’s been staying away from his family, with Willie joking that his house is big enough to make that an easy feat. Through the laughter comes a hard reality. “I’m saying Will, it’s a cold thing big homie,” says Face. “Let me save your life man. Don’t play no games man. I woke up Sunday morning, I had an itch in my throat. I called my doctor, he got me a z-pack and some Prednisone. Come Thursday, my fever kicks in like bam. One hundred one, one hundred two. Fever going up out the roof. Friday, Saturday, Sunday I go to the ER. I get in there, freezing to death. They stick these needles in my arm and start running me IVs.”
