*The Lady Rage has spoken out to her fans and all that are concerned via Instagram about the serious tumble she experienced right before her scheduled performance at the 2018 Essence festival last month in New Orleans.
“I know a lot of people have been wondering what’s going on with me in regards 2 my health, well today I will let y’all know what I know. Since Sept. 2017 I have been going back & forth to doctors & specialists for what started out as shortness of breath. Within that time I’ve been hospitalized 5 times,” she wrote.
After being diagnosed with multiple illnesses by doctors, only to be called a “medical mystery,” The Lady of Rage explained how she injured her eye.
“July 6th I was scheduled to perform at the Essence Fest & was very excited because this would have been my first time. As I walked in to the hotel I was cool. By the time I got to the counter I knew something was wrong! I asked for some water, and the next thing I know, I’m hearing someone say, ‘don’t move, and don’t touch your eye’!
“I had blacked out and fell face first into a cast iron frame at the front desk! Blacking out is called syncope, and this was my 3rd & most damaging time! So as a result of that, I received 9 stitches, a fractured eye orbit, & fractured the side of my nose. Missed out on performing at Essence with @dougiefresh and Summertime in the LBC with @snoopdogg.”
