AceShowbiz - OJ da Juiceman collapsed at a Georgia gas station on Thursday night, marking his second serious health scare within three weeks.
The rapper, known for the hit "Cop a Chicken," lost consciousness as he was approaching the cashier at a QuikTrip located in Decatur. According to reports, he is now recovering at home and is in stable condition.
The episode was caused by low blood sugar, a complication linked to his ongoing battles with Type 1 diabetes. The root of his health issues stems from inadequate medical care while he was incarcerated, where he reportedly did not receive proper insulin doses for several weeks.
This lack of proper treatment left his body weakened and struggling to regulate blood sugar levels, which he is currently working to stabilize. His condition remains delicate following a previous emergency room visit on March 21, when he experienced a severe diabetic incident.
OJ da Juiceman was initially hospitalized but returned to the DeKalb County jail afterward. However, the effects of the medical neglect during his time in custody have continued to impact his health significantly.
The rapper’s legal troubles began on March 10 after a state trooper accused him of pointing a firearm multiple times while driving recklessly and speeding on the interstate. He was charged with 10 counts, including felony aggravated assault on a public safety officer and firearm possession during a felony, along with several misdemeanors.
He was released on April 4 but remains under these serious charges. Despite the ongoing legal challenges, his team has stated that the situation is not hindering his career plans. OJ da Juiceman is preparing to release new music and embark on upcoming performances to reconnect with his fans.
