A member of Bone Thugs-n-Harmony is currently in critical condition 🙏🧡

American hip hop legend Krayzie Bone of Bone Thugs-n-Harmony fame is reportedly fighting for his life in hospital. 🙏🧡

According to hip hop news outlet hotnewwhiphop.com, Krayzie was admitted last Friday to L.A hospital after his condition, sarcoidosis, saw him coughing up large amounts of blood. 🏥

Sarcoidosis is a rare inflammatory disease that covers organs in nodes. The 50 year old rapper reportedly underwent emergency lung surgery but that the operation was unsuccessful and he is currently sedated and is unable to breathe on his own. 

Fellow Bone Thugs member Bizzy took to his Instagram stories with the message “Pray 4 Kay” shared to his followers. 💞

The Grammy-winning rapper who rose to fame with Bone Thugs-n-Harmony during the 1990s was still active in the music world, performing with LL Cool J in August.

Bone Thugs is also scheduled to perform at the Juicy Festival in Auckland on January 6.

Krayzie Bone is in our thoughts and prayers. Get better soon Kray.
