This morning (Mar. 23), Miami rapper Trick Daddy made a shocking confession about his health during an appearance on The Rickey Smiley Morning Show to promote his autobiography Magic City: Trials of a Native Son.
During the interview, the rapper announced that he suffers from Lupus, an incurable autoimmune disease, which makes the immune system attacks the body’s cells and tissue.
Lupus affects all major organs in the human body, including the heart, kidneys and nervous system.
“I went to the doctor like 12 years ago. He took all kinds of tests, because I was trying to get rid of what we call dry skin, she did biopsies and blood tests and swab tests. She told me I have lupus. I am allergic highly to the sun, that’s my worst enemy. It’s like an AK-47 with a double clip on it. I could jeopardize kidney and liver failure from the treatment and the medication.”
Trick Daddy said he also learned that a close female friend had the disease, when he noticed a visible change in her appearance.
“A lot of people try to cover it up with regular makeup. It makes your skin pigmented. You can go from dark to light and not light to dark. You have to cover it up and conceal it…my mama had 11 children from 10 different men. If she can live with that I know, I can live with this.”
