Reps for Nate Dogg have officially confirmed the state of his
medical condition, following reports earlier this month that the singer
suffered a stroke in late December.

His manager, Rod McGrew confirmed last night that Nate Dogg, born
Nathaniel Hale, was left paralyzed on the left side of his body, by
what was described as a mild stroke shortly before the Christmas
holiday. The 39-year-old singer, known for his collaborations with Hip-Hop
artists from Warren G to Ludacris, is currently being treated at an
occupational rehab facility.

McGrew went on to say that although Nate Dogg has some
“neural-muscular issues that have to be jump-started,” he has not
suffered any brain damage and his voice has not been affected by his
current condition, McGrew told MTV News. “Time will tell everything, obviously,” McGrew added. “But based on
situations with similar people his age, and based on his health, the
prognosis is good right now.”

McGrew’s comments come only days after various websites posted audio
of the 911 phone call placed from Nate Dogg’s girlfriend, to
paramedics. Nate Dogg was reportedly treated at Panoma Valley Hospital from December 19 to December 26.

On behalf of the singer and his family, McGrew has asked that Nate
Dogg be granted the needed privacy to continue on his path to recovery.
