Fans slammed the celebrity barber who posted Young M.A.’s video on Instagram.
FatsDaBarber addressed the controversy in an Instagram Live video on Wednesday, saying the ailing rapper re-posted his video on her Instagram page.
“Y’all got so much to say as if I’m trying to embarrass my dawg. [She] reposted my video. If she didn’t want me to record she would have told me y’all don’t know our bond nor our friendship. What y’all need to do is just send your prayers for her and that’s that. She didn’t have a haircut in a month and she wanted me to bring her haircut back to life and which I did!!!!! Thank you sis for coming and rocking with me like always — Love ya.”
The video dropped months after Young M.A. was seen riding in a wheelchair and using a cane in a grocery store.
In 2021, the rapper admitted herself into a rehab center for treatment of drug and alcohol abuse and mental health issues.
What is Jaundice?
Jaundice refers to a yellow-green pigmentation in eyes and skin caused by high bilirubin levels in the bloodstream. Jaundice is a sign of liver failure or an obstruction of bile ducts. Bile is constantly produced in the liver and stored in the gallbladder. When you eat, bile is released into the small intestine to digest lipids (fatty acids).
Bile is removed from the body in your stool. If bile flow is obstructed, bile builds up in the bloodstream leading to jaundice, dark urine and pale stools.
What Causes Jaundice?
Jaundice can be caused by hepatitis infection, alcohol-related liver disease (cirrhosis), cancer (tumors) in liver, inflammation, gallstones that block bile ducts (cholecystitis), pancreatitis, etc. Blood tests are required to diagnose the cause of jaundice.
