Documentary included. MAB, I love you all! Don’t worry, I’m fine! This is M.A. Young M.A. fans began to express concern last Tuesday (March 14) when the rapper’s barber shared a video showing before-and-after footage of the rapper getting an edge-up and retwist. On Instagram, the barber responded to people who blasted him for sharing the footage on social media. In terms of what is causing concern, Young M.A announced in June 2021 that she would be going to rehab but quickly retracted that statement. Since her May 2021 album, she has also been absent from the music scene.

After A Concern-Raising Video Circulated, Young M.A Updates Fans On Her Health
Brooklyn rapper Young M.A (born Katorah Kasanova Marrero) has issued an update regarding her health following a viral video that left many wondering if she was okay. According to reports from various publications, including TMZ, Young M.A’s barber recently shared a clip of her getting her locks touch-up. Fans noticed that she slurred her speech and her eyes were yellow in the footage, leading some to speculate that she had liver disease or jaundice, which is caused by liver cirrhosis. On Wednesday night, the MC admitted that she has been dealing with various health issues over the last few years, but did not address liver disease claims. A 30-year-old shared that she recently spent time in the hospital, but is now doing much better. In a statement posted on her Instagram page, the lyricist said she was recently hospitalized and was successfully treated for several ailments. As she explained, I am doing better now, but it may take time for me to recover. I am looking forward to the future. Everything will be explained through the music! Including a documentary. As he ended his post, the Brooklyn-born rapper wrote, Love y’all MAB! No worries, I’m fine. Bless up, along with an emoji of a prayer. The barber who dropped the video is now facing backlash from fans who accused him of sharing it.
It’s like you’re trying to embarrass my dawg with everything you say. She would have told me if she didn’t want me to record. You don’t know our bond or friendship, he said, according to Hot 97. In addition, he said, ‘What y’all need to do is just send your prayers to her concerning her haircut, since she hadn’t had one for a while and wanted me to revive it, so I did.’ Sis [Young M.A], thank you so much for coming and rocking with me as usual. I love you. According to a now-deleted Instagram post in June 2021, Young M.A was in rehab in order to ‘lose this addiction’. However, she did not specify what type of addiction she was referring to. Despite adamantly denying drug abuse in the past, many of her lyrics mention excessive alcohol consumption. Her last full-length project was released nearly two years ago, so fans are eagerly anticipating the new music she mentioned in her statement. The song Body Bag, which appeared on M.A The Mixtape in 2015, marked Young M.A.’s entrance into the music industry. Following the release of her quadruple-platinum hit single Ooouuu, which broke the top 20 of the Billboard Hot 100 and boasted over 400 million views on YouTube, she gained widespread recognition.
