According to NY Daily News, Scarface had to obtain dialysis treatment and needed a new kidney. After searching for a donor, he was alas able to find one in his son.
Rap-A-Lot Records founder J Prince, who signed Scarface’s group, the Geto Boys, posted a photo on September 15 to Instagram of the rapper holding his son’s hand while recovering from the transplant at the hospital.
“Congrats to my brother @brothermob & his son @_iamchrisjordan for giving his father one of his kidneys,” Prince wrote. “I celebrate with the both of you for being an example of unending love. Chris, a lot of people talk about how much they love your dad, but you have separated yourself from the talkers by your actions. We all salute the both of you and wish you both a speedy recovery.”
