Former Roc-A-Fella rapper Young Chris was rushed to the hospital on Wednesday night (Dec. 22) after suffering from a seizure during a performance in New York City.

The Philly rapper, who is one half of the duo Young Gunz, was in the middle of a performance at S.O.B.’s nightclub in Manhattan’s West Village, when he suffered from a sudden seizure. The unconscious rapper was admitted to a nearby hospital, where he was treated and eventually released. He took to Twitter early Thursday morning to let fans know that he was in good shape.

Dear Fans,

    I am overwhelmed with the love and support I have been getting from family, friends and fans. I simply over worked myself. As I chase down success I have to take care of myself better while I am chasing my dream. I’m getting rest now and going to work towards having a better balance between work and health. Thank you to all those who were involved in helping and thank you to all the media for giving me priceless respect. I truly appreciate it. Your prayers are heard, Trust me. Love you all.

The performance was a part of Hot 97 and Kodak’s popular ‘Who’s Next’ concert series. Young Gunz and Lloyd Banks took the stage to open up for Alabama rapper Yelawolf, who performed songs from his ‘Trunk Muzik: 0-60’ mixtape. During the show, Young Chris tackled tracks from his latest mixtape, ‘The Re-Introduction’ and performed the Young Gunz hit ‘Can’t Stop, Won’t Stop’, which you can watch below (via KarenCivil)
