Scarface, a rapper, is in the hospital for an undisclosed health issue.

Houston's renowned rap icon, Scarface, whose real name is Brad Jordan, recently shared on Instagram that he had been hospitalized. In a post on August 24th, he shared a photo of himself in a hospital bed, with wires attached to his chest and a tube in his nose. He captioned the photo with a simple "Ouch...Grateful" and added prayer hands for emphasis.

According to the Houston Chronicle, it appears that Scarface was in the intensive care unit of a cardiovascular unit, as evident from the nurse's badge in his photo. Fans and fellow artists, including Chance The Rapper, Travis Scott, and Anthony Hamilton, have sent their well-wishes for a speedy recovery.

Though there is no official confirmation on the reason for his hospitalization, it is likely related to his heart, as stated by the Chronicle. Scarface had previously received a kidney transplant from his son in 2021, after facing complications from COVID-19. He battled the virus for over a year before undergoing the transplant.

The news of Scarface's hospitalization has raised concerns about the health of kidney transplant recipients. According to a study published in the Clinical Journal of the American Society of Nephrology, cardiovascular disease is a common cause of hospitalization and death for kidney transplant recipients. The study suggests that after a transplant, the risk factors for cardiovascular disease can worsen due to the use of immunosuppressants. It also recommends monitoring and treating recipients for post-transplant diabetes and creating an individualized medication plan.

Meanwhile, the entertainment world and fans of hip hop are sending their love and support for Scarface's recovery. The Old Man Ebro, a radio host, tweeted, "Voice. Musicality. Storytelling. Emotion. Having it all is rare in music. Get well Scarface." Celebrities like Cedric The Entertainer, Deon Cole, and Affion Crockett have also shown their concern for the rapper.

The study also highlights the importance of taking preventive measures to reduce the risk of cardiovascular disease in kidney transplant recipients. They suggest considering statins, or cholesterol blockers, and ensuring there are no major interactions with other medications. More research and proactive measures can lead to positive outcomes for this vulnerable population.

For now, the focus is on Scarface's recovery, and fans are hoping to see him back in good health soon. As we wait for updates on his condition, let us all keep him in our thoughts and prayers.
