Arik Ancelin’s fans were concerned about him when he posted a video from the hospital on TikTok. Due to health-related issues, he had to celebrate his 20th birthday at the hospital.
It was previously rumored that Ancelin had died, so his fans were already torn up over what to believe. Fans were relieved when the rumor turned out to be false. The rapper has now clarified the reason behind his hospitalization on social media.
Why was Arik Ancelin hospitalized?
Ancelin offered an update to fans via Instagram. He began the post stating that he was hospitalized due to breaking his back from carrying the rap industry. However, he quickly clarified that it was a joke and revealed the actual reason behind his hospitalization. Due to an empyema on his left lung moving into his lungs, fluid accumulated both inside and outside his lungs.
He further stated that the fluid was being drained and he is hoping to get well soon.
The post further reads:
“Today is my 20th birthday and I’ve been moved into the cardio vascular ICU. This is not the birthday I was wishing for, but is another birthday and I am grateful for that. Please keep wishing me recovery and wellness. My favorite birthday present is hopefully getting better soon..."
