SCARFACE: Crowdsourcing Kidney Donation
One of hip-hop’s OGs could use a hand -- or more accurately, a kidney.
Geto Boys legend Scarface tweeted out a Hail Mary yesterday afternoon… Stating, “I need a kidney y’all any volunteers?B+ blood type.” Back in April, he suffered kidney failure as a complication of his battle with the coronavirus. Face said, “COVID attacked my lungs first, and then it attacked my kidneys and knocked them out. I got full lung recovery, but my kidneys never came back... I'm still a little weak. I don't have a lot of strength in my legs yet. I still haven't got full taste back and sense of smell yet. But I am glad to be alive.”
