Hip hop artist Rittz recovering at home after he was hospitalised in ICU, what was wrong with him?

Musician Rittz, who has 411K followers on Instagram has recently shared a photograph of himself appearing to be lying down with a blanket and said: “I wanna thank ALL OF YOU for the Happy Thanksgiving texts.

I ESPECIALLY wanna thank EVERYONE who texted me to check and see if I was OK after posting about being in the hospital.

“Im still not 50% but I’ll be 100% soon.

“Words don’t do it justice for how grateful I am for your concern.

“I’m getting better! LOVE YALL.”

According to Distractify, “In a post on Instagram from Nov. 25, Rittz said that he had been in the ICU "since Tuesday," which likely means since Nov. 19. "I know I have phone calls to make/ Features to write/ New music to write/ People to pay/ And a whole lot of other stuff to catch up on," he wrote in the caption. "Let me get my feet and balance back underneath me and I'll be back."

Fans of Rittz have been speculating about what happened to the hip hop artist on Reddit. One fan wrote: “Nurse here. Judging from the picture, looks like he's getting blood, antibiotics, and fluids. His blood pressure looks a bit soft. Heart rate is steady. And it looks like he is restrained by the wrists, he must've been either aggressive or confused at some point. Intubated and vented which means a machine was doing the breathing for him. If this is actually him posting this, then he's probably not intubated and restrained anymore,” whilst another wrote:

“He's on a vent.. prayers my guy! I spent 2 weeks on a tube ... just fight bro, that's all you can do.”
