Layzie Bone Breaks Silence On Krayzie Bone Hospitalization: ‘Your Support Means The World’

After Krayzie underwent a CAT scan, doctors apparently discovered an artery was leaking inside one of his lungs. The 50-year-old then underwent immediate surgery, but the bleeding didn’t stop.

Krayzie Bone, whose real name is Anthony Henderson, has since been sedated and placed on a breathing machine.

The rapper suffers from sarcoidosis, an inflammatory disease in which the immune system overreacts, causing groups of cells to form clusters of inflamed tissue called “granulomas” in one or more organs of the body.

According to the American Lung Society, sarcoidosis most commonly affects the lungs and lymph nodes, and can be life-threatening if it progresses to heart or severe lung disease.

As news of his hospitalization spread, prayers and well wishes have poured in from across the Hip Hop community.

“Pray 4 Kray,” fellow Bone Thugs-N-Harmony member Bizzy Bone wrote on his Instagram Stories on Sunday (September 24). “Can’t sleep. Sometimes you just gotta pray.”

Fellow Cleveland native Kid Cudi tweeted: “Prayin for you Kray [prayer hands emoji] [heart emoji],” while Three 6 Mafia‘s Juicy J added: “Prayers up for Krayzie Bone.”

NBA superstar and former Cleveland Cavalier LeBron James also offered his support by tweeting: “[prayers] to Krayzie man!!!!”

Krayzie Bone’s health scare comes shortly after a career highlight for both himself and Bone Thugs-N-Harmony, who were honored with their own street in their hometown of Cleveland last month.
