Young Thug joined Migos star Offset, Rich The Kid, and SAINt JHN on the live stream and chose to perform Killed Before. While explains the inspiration behind the song, Thug – real name Jeffery Lamar Williams – shared that he was rushed to hospital after he went “numb.”
“So, I kinda just stayed in the bed and I was like, ‘Yo call the ambulance. I can’t move my body,’” he said. “Then later… when the ambulance came, I couldn’t get out of the bed. They had to get me out of the bed basically. I felt like my whole body was numb and I couldn’t move.” He continued, “I went to the hospital and I had found out that I had liver and kidney failure. And I kinda had sorta passed away like I kinda died. I was in the hospital for like 17 days.”
After his revelation, Thug went on to sing his song: “Everyone know I’ve been killed before.” After he finished performing, Thug told the audience that “drugs aren’t good, don’t do drugs.”
