Scarface Gives Promising Health Update After Open Heart Surgery

[KingsOfKings]

"Scarface has given fans a promising update on his health after undergoing open heart surgery.

The Geto Boys legend reflected on his recent health issues in an Instagram post on Tuesday (October 8), expressing his gratitude for making a full recovery while revealing the surgery “could’ve [gone] either way.”

“6wks ago I underwent open heart surgery, to be upright and smiling today shows you that God aint nothing to play with,” he wrote alongside a photo of him looking both happy and dapper at the Grandmaster Awards in Las Vegas this past weekend, where he and the Paid in Full Foundation honored fellow Hip Hop pioneers Kool Moe Dee, Grandmaster Caz and Roxanne Shanté.

Face Mob added: “Again I say, I’m grateful, it could’ve went either way, yet I’m still alive.”



Scarface alerted fans to his health scare in August, posting a photo on Instagram of him lying in a hospital bed with a number of tubes and wires attached to his body.

The 53-year-old didn’t disclose what caused him to be hospitalized, only writing in the caption: “Ouch… [three prayer hands emojis] Grateful.”

The badge on the medical professional tending to Face in the photo indicated that he was in the ICU at one of Houston Methodist Hospital’s many facilities across the city.

His post prompted comments of support from a number of rap peers, including fellow Houstonian Slim Thug, E-40, DJ Premier, Twista, Sleepy Brown, KXNG Crooked, Mannie Fresh and DJ Quik.

Scarface was previously hospitalized in 2021 following a kidney transplant. The donor wasn’t just anyone, either — it was his son Chris Jordan, who stepped up for his father and gave up one of his kidneys.

The Houston rap legend later jumped on Instagram Live and praised his son (who was in the same room) for the selfless act, albeit with a healthy dose of humor.

“My son saved my life and I can’t say enough about him,” he said. “That boy saved my life man. And I love him so much. But I always said that shyt, though. He’s the best son a guy could have. Chris, you ain’t shyt [laughs]. Don’t make me laugh, Chris. C’mon dawg.”

Looking at his son, he added: “I’m so proud of you. I love you too much. You saved my muthafukkin’ life. You low down muthafukka. You’re selfish. Won’t let a n-gga die. That n-gga will not let me die [laughs]. I ain’t gonna tear up in here in front of all these people on Instagram Live.”

Why is he so sick. Sad.

Yesterday's generation didn't take health so seriously, its how it goes. The list of rappers whove died of health related issues is long when you dig into it. In Face's case, he started dropping weight years ago, but hes had a few scares already. He posted a photo on his IG with the heart surgeon who worked on his heart this time, considered one of the best in the world.

And that should be another point of getting older. Sadly, unless you live in a city that's attracting world class surgeons/specialists, in an emergency you probably won't have access to those doctors.

Now That I think about it, Gen X thought that eating veggies and drinking water was "soft" and "feminine" while eating red meat and fast food and not going to the doctor regularly was normal. 30 years ago, there wasn't this "gluten free" or "vegan" alternatives that we have now, and certainly a lot of brehs never took it seriously because they thought that their bodies gonna remain 22 forever and it was white woman shyt to be clean.

Now, at least the younger generation of black folk are paying attention to their diets carefully and what they consume on a regular basis. Godspeed to Brad Jordan and his family for a full recovery.
