*Swizz Beatz made a recent stop at The Jennifer Hudson Show and shared lessons he learned from a past health scare when doctors told him he may never work again.
“When you come from nothing, and you finally get success, get a piece of what you thought you could never get from your surroundings — we just have a habit of going hard as men, you know, and it caught up to me,” Swizz shared. “I remember staying up for four days straight just over-pushing it. It messed up my immune system — I had spinal meningitis.”
During his recovery in the hospital, Swizz said that a doctor informed him he was going to survive the illness, but added that there was a chance he might never walk again.
“And I remember going to the hospital, and the doctor was cold. He was cold as ice,” Swizz told Jennifer. “As soon as I walked in, he said, ‘Okay, you might not die, but you’ll never walk again.’ That was the first thing they said to me when I went into the hospital.
“But I was in so much pain, I was like, ‘let’s get on to it.’ But, Alhamdulillah [Praise be to Allah], I came back, and I beat the odds with that one. And now, I try to take my health a little bit more seriously.”
Swizz, born Kasseem Dean, recently hosted an album release party at Veronika/Fotografiska NYC for his new project, Hip Hop 50: Vol 2, the second installment in the series, following the first produced by DJ Premier.
