“I’m doing good. I’m feeling great. I’m excited. I’m happy,” he said during the special. “A lot of people don’t know it was a deeper situation. I had open heart surgery and I had two other surgeries; it was a life-or-death situation…They were gonna send me home, but then I had felt a pain in my left chest, and I told my mom. They rushed me and they did a lot of scans on me, [and] they said I couldn’t leave.”

The “Beautiful Girl” singer said he has fully recovered and is back to making music.

“I’ve been in the house chilling, about to start work on my new album. I got L.A. Reid now as my new president.
