AceShowbiz - Six weeks ago, legendary rapper Scarface found himself in a dire situation, undergoing open-heart surgery. Given his recent update, it's clear that Scarface has emerged stronger, fueling the spirit of resilience among his fans.
In August, Scarface revealed his hospitalization through a post on social media, veiled in cryptic messages. Now, he shares his journey openly. "6wks ago I underwent open heart surgery, to be upright and smiling today shows you that God ain't nothing to play with," he wrote on Instagram. "And again I say, I'm grateful, it could've went either way, yet I'm still alive."
Scarface's sentiment struck a chord with his followers and peers. Questlove expressed appreciation, writing, "& we in this thread are appreciative for you being here still on this plane," while Project Pat joined in with "praise God." Fans echoed similar thoughts, grateful for his continued presence and well-being.
Scarface's presence at the 2025 Grandmaster Awards in Las Vegas marked a victorious moment. With a broad smile, he buttoned his tuxedo jacket, walking confidently to the stage. He was honored alongside other hip-hop icons like Kool Moe Dee, Grandmaster Caz and Roxanne Shante, solidifying his revered status in the music industry.
This latest health challenge is not Scarface's first. In 2021, he underwent a kidney transplant after dealing with dialysis due to COVID-19-induced kidney failure. The transplant was made possible by his son and tour manager, Chris Jordan. Overwhelmed with gratitude, Scarface praised Chris on Instagram Live, saying, "I'm so proud of you. I love you too much. You saved my muthaf**kin' life."
Chris Jordan has since dedicated himself to promoting health awareness through the Wayne C. Wilson Quality of Life Foundation. "Now that I'm on this side of recovery, I plan to bring awareness on organ donation to the community," he stated. Focusing on health prevention and improving the quality of life, particularly within the African American community, remains his mission.
Scarface's recovery and triumphant moments, including a stellar performance at his Tiny Desk Concert, continue to inspire many. His journey underscores the importance of resilience, gratitude and the supportive bonds of family and community.
