Young M.A. says she's doing "better now" after being admitted to the hospital for several conditions.

Young M.A. has been noticeably out of the spotlight in recent times. The rapper released her last project, Off The Yak in 2021 with only a few offerings throughout the past year. Songs like “Tip The Surgeon” and “Aye Day Pay Day” made waves. Still, she hasn’t necessarily been in the limelight throughout this time. Needless to say, fans have missed her presence in hip-hop heavily as they hoped she would make a grand return sometime in the near future. Still, she hasn’t provided much of an update on new music recently.

Earlier this week, a video of Young M.A. in a barber chair surfaced on Instagram but the response largely consisted of concern for her well-being. The blowback landed on her barber, who her fans felt set her up to be ridiculed online. “Y’all got so much to say as if I’m trying to embarrass my dawg,” the barber wrote. “She reposted my video if she didn’t want me to record she would have told me... What y’all need to do is just send your prayers for her and that’s that. She didn’t have a haircut in a month and she wanted me to bring her haircut back to life which I did!!!!!”

M.A. later showed her support for her barber in the midst of backlash from Internet trolls. “We blessed don’t let that get to u blooda,” she said. “And I told you it was like 4 month.” However, it turns out that the concerns that fans had for her were rooted in real health conditions. M.A. spoke to TMZ where she explained that she was recently hospitalized for several conditions, though she received the right treatment.

“As many of my supporters know I’ve been dealing with various personal health issues the last few years. I recently was hospitalized and was successfully treated for several conditions. I’m doing better now, will take some time but I’m on the road to recovery and look forward to the future!!!" She said. "Rest assured I’m in good spirits and everything will be explained in the MUSIC ... plus a documentary. Love y’all MAB! Don’t worry I’m good!" We’re looking forward to hearing what she has up her sleeve next.
