Last month, hip-hop pioneer Kurtis Blow was left for dead after suffering a heart attack while attending an event in San Fernando Valley. The 62-year-old rapper, known for hits like “The Breaks” and “Basketball,” collapsed in front of a crowd of people and was rushed to the hospital for emergency treatment.
In a recent interview, Blow opened up about the terrifying experience, admitting that he initially thought it was all over. “I felt like I was just going to die,” he recalled. “I thought it was all over for me.”
Fortunately, paramedics were able to revive Blow and get his heart beating again. He was subsequently rushed to the hospital, where doctors performed an emergency angioplasty to clear a blockage in one of his arteries. Blow is now on the road to recovery and is grateful for a second chance at life.
This incident serves as an important reminder of the unpredictability of life, especially when it comes to health. Blow’s heart attack came as a shock to many, as he has been vocal about his commitment to leading a healthier lifestyle in recent years.
In fact, Blow has been an advocate for heart health awareness, speaking out about the importance of recognizing and addressing heart disease in the African American community. He has even become an ordained minister, using his platform to spread positive messages and promote health and wellness.
Despite this scare, Blow remains resilient and is grateful for the outpouring of love and support from fans and fellow artists. He is determined to continue making music and spreading positivity, using his experience as a wake-up call to prioritize his health and well-being.
