The Los Angeles County Fire Department stated it received a call about a seizure that occurred inside the club just before 2 a.m., though it did not transport the patient to a medical facility. Dex was carried backstage, but there were no updates about the rapper needing or receiving medical attention, or if those who assisted him were medically trained.
A representative for the rapper issued a statement on his condition: “We wish Famous Dex a speedy recovery after his epileptic seizure last night. He is currently in good spirits and hopes to return back to finishing his new album. The thanks all his fans for their prayers and well wishes.”
Almost a year ago, fans of Dex were concerned with his health after passing out in the middle of a live Instagram session. Rap-Up reported that Dex returned to Instagram and announced giving up lean and Xanax this past April. In his announcement, the rapper cited religion and thanked supporters in his efforts to leave drugs behind.
