According to Cleveland Clinic, Sarcoidosis is a condition that causes one’s immune system to form lumps and nodules called granulomas. In some cases, an individual’s immune system overreacts to Sarcoidosis, which leads to permanent lung scarring.

The condition is known to cause inflammatory cells to form in different parts of the body. In this case, the doctors detected internal bleeding. As a result, the rapper had to undergo a procedure to correct the situation. However, even after the procedure, his condition worsened.
