“Half of my face was numb. Whenever I was talking or so, I noticed that some words were not coming out properly. One side of my face just feel numb and twisted,” he said. “I am very grateful and thankful to God that I am not worse. I am still able to talk, still able to walk. I was in the hospital and saw a lot of persons who cannot talk, who cannot walk and they have the same illness as me.”
“There are angels here, there are demons here, there are people on the bright side and people on the dark side,” he continues. “I was in the middle of highlighting that and it was shortly after that, that I started feeling my lips get twisted to the other side.”
Foota Hype posted a photo on Instagram of himself leaving the hospital in a wheelchair.
