Young M.A. responds to leaked hospital video

Young M.A. speaks out after an old hospital video resurfaces online, addressing her past health struggles and recovery

Brooklyn rapper Young M.A. has addressed the recent circulation of an old hospital video that surfaced online, allegedly leaked by a former partner. The footage, which captures the artist in a visibly weak state while at a medical facility, sparked widespread conversation on social media.

Taking to Instagram, Young M.A. reassured fans that she is in good health and remains unshaken by the incident. Expressing disappointment over the video's release, she stated that she had already addressed her past health struggles through her music.

“I just feel like that was so foul,” she said. “I don’t even know how a person could have the urge to do something like that. That just speaks a lot, and I never knew this was her character. But people be people sometimes, and it is what it is.”

Despite her frustration, Young M.A. emphasized that she is not ashamed of her past and has moved forward. She described that period in her life as a "real dark" time but affirmed that she is now in good health and that her supporters are aware of her progress.

Concerns about Young M.A.’s health initially arose in 2023 after a video shared by her barber showed her with visible hair loss and jaundice in her eyes. In response to speculation, the rapper later addressed her health challenges in her song Watch, released in early 2024.

In the track, she directly references the viral video, rapping, “Thought that I was dying when they seen me with those yellow eyes… Surprise m**********s, I’m alive. God wasn’t finished with me.”

Following the leak, social media users largely supported Young M.A., criticizing the individual who shared the video. Many fans expressed relief that the rapper has since recovered and continues to thrive.

One user commented, “Why was she even recording her like that?” while another wrote, “Worst nightmare is being vulnerable and needing help, only for those who helped to turn around and use it against you.”

Others praised Young M.A. for overcoming her struggles, with one fan stating, “Glad she got her health back.”

Despite the controversy, Young M.A. remains focused on her well-being and career, maintaining her resilience in the face of personal challenges.
