F.A.B. also notes that the accident left his manager Stretch with significant back damage, and his deejay, Tito, suffered a collapsed lung. While at Providence Holy Cross Medical Center in Mission Hills, California, F.A.B. says he checked in from the Mobile Web option of a friend’s phone to write the following:

The Grapevine F.A.B. refers to is a six-and-a-half-mile portion of Ridge Route Highway which extends from Fort Tejon to the bottom of Grapevine Grade. Representatives from F.A.B.‘s label, Thizz Nation/SMC Records confirm that he was indeed in a car accident, and his Twitter account was not hacked into.
