\nRoc Nation\u2019s Freeway was diagnosed with End Stage Renal disease in 2015, which resulted in him suffering from kidney failure. That was until he received a life-changing transplant in February 2019. In a new interview with NBCNews<\/em><\/a>, Freeway reflected on being hesitant to go public with his health crisis at first.<\/p>\n

\u201cThey was like, \u2018Yo, you shouldn\u2019t do this. You shouldn\u2019t say this. We just have to deal with this amongst ourselves,’\u201d Freeway remembered of his team\u2019s advice at the time. \u201cThey said to keep it to myself so I wouldn\u2019t look weak; hide it from people because I\u2019m a celebrity. A lot of people felt like I shouldn\u2019t be so open and letting people know what\u2019s going on.\u201d<\/p>\n

The \u201cWhat We Do\u201d rapper chalked it up to the \u201990s and 2000s aesthetic of rappers who didn\u2019t want to show any sign of weakness or fragility.<\/p>\n

\u201cA majority of rappers are Black men, especially in the \u201890s and early 2000s, and Black men want it to seem like nothing can affect them, like they\u2019re invincible,\u201d Freeway continued. \u201cNobody wanted to show any weakness.\u201d<\/p>\n
