The induced coma was to aid in the rapper's healing, according to a report from TMZ at the time. The outlet also reported that insiders had revealed Krayzie Bone’s blood vessel will need another surgery in order to be repaired.

The rapper had previously told TMZ in 2016, that he had been diagnosed with sarcoidosis, though it is not known if his September hospitalization was connected to the condition.

According to the Mayo Clinic, sarcoidosis is “characterized by the growth of inflammatory cells” which are known as granulomas. Though granulomas are commonly found in the lymph nodes and lungs, they can be anywhere in the body.

At the time of Krayzie Bone’s hospitalization, fellow Bone Thugs-N-Harmony member, Layzie Bone, posted a message on Instagram where he addressed the "challenging" and "unexpected" situation.

"In this challenging moment, as the immediate and Bone thugs family rallies behind my brother, we humbly ask for a moment of privacy. Our family is facing the unexpected hospitalization of Krayzie Bone with strength, and your prayers are a beacon of hope," he wrote last week.

NBA star LeBron James also wrote on X, “🙏🏽🙏🏽🙏🏽🙏🏽🙏🏽🙏🏽🙏🏽🙏🏽🙏🏽🙏🏽to Krayzie man!!!!”
