Is C-Knight OK? The Dove Shack rapper hospitalized after suffering major health crisis
LOS ANGELES, CALIFORNIA: C-Knight, one of the original members of the hip hop trio The Dove Shack, was hospitalized on October 18 after receiving a disturbing blood sugar test result. At present, he is battling for his life after suffering severe medical complications, reported TMZ.
George Lee Washington Blount Jr, the rapper's father, revealed to the publication that his son was suffering from diabetes and had a stroke while receiving dialysis.
On top of that, C-Knight went into cardiac arrest and had to be resuscitated by doctors. It was then that he was put on life support, said Blount, but further health issues came to light later.
C-Knight has been unresponsive after being placed on life support
Doctors are yet to see any signs of improvement in the rapper's condition, said his father. According to him, an upcoming scan may determine if C-Knight has much hope of making a full recovery.
The family members are awaiting the results of an MRI, which should be able to detect brain activity. In case the report suggests the worst, Blount stated that the family will be keeping the rapper on life support for the time being as they discuss the next steps.
The family and friends of the rapper are now simply keeping their fingers crossed, praying for a miracle.
The Dove Shack bandmate Bo-Roc asked fans to pray on Instagram
Bo-Roc took to Instagram on October 23 to share a picture of his colleague and request fans to pray for the unwell rapper.
"I'm literally begging all who see's this post to pray for my brother from another mother and one of my closest friends in the world Arnez a.k.a C Knight from the Dove Shack," he wrote.
"He's the founder of the Dove Shack and the reason I had the opportunity to make #summertimeinthelbc for the world so please please send him positive energy and healing prayers," he added.
The Dove Shack was an influential hip-hop outfit, even though they never tasted massive success in the 1990s.
The debut album of the band featuring rappers C-Knight and 2 Scoops, and singer Bo-Roc, titled 'This Is The Shack', released in 1995 and peaked at number 68 on the Billboard 200 albums chart and number 13 on the R&B chart.
