Layzie Bone is acknowledging fellow Bone Thugs-N-Harmony member Krayzie Bone‘s “unexpected hospitalization” following reports on the matter, and he’s calling for everyone to “keep [their] love and thoughts focused on his recovery.”
On Tuesday (Sept. 26), Layzie Bone spoke on the ongoing situation in an Instagram upload featuring most of the Cleveland-bred rap group (everyone except Bizzy Bone).
The rapper began by calling the situation a “challenging moment” and requesting “privacy.”
“In this challenging moment, as the immediate and Bone thugs family rallies behind my brother, we humbly ask for a moment of privacy.”
He continued, “Our family is facing the unexpected hospitalization of Krayzie Bone with strength, and your prayers are a beacon of hope.”
Layzie Bone went on to note that the group would keep fans posted, though they want them to “come together” and keep the positive support goin’ in the meantime.
“Soon, we’ll share an update, but for now, let us come together and keep our love and thoughts focused on his recovery. Your support means the world to us, and we truly appreciate your understanding during this time.”
In addition to this initial upload, the rapper shared a couple of follow-up posts, including one in which he called for “prayer warriors” to “activate.”
Shortly after, Layzie Bone shared a photo of him and Krayzie Bone standing side-by-side.
Layzie Bone’s uploads acknowledged and confirmed reports of his beloved groupmate’s hospitalization.
According to TMZ, the situation began unfolding on Friday (Sept. 22) once Krayzie Bone started coughing up blood.
Reportedly, surgeons eventually found a ruptured artery in one of his lungs and attempted to correct it. However, the issue allegedly required further intervention in the form of a second surgery, and there are no additional updates.
We send prayers and well-wishes to Krayzie Bone and his family at this time.
