Lady of Rage Reveals Bloody & Bruised Face: Doctor’s Don’t Know What’s Wrong w/ Me

The Lady of Rage has been widely described as one of the most skillful female MCs in hip-hop history. She was discovered by Dr. Dre in 1991 before signing to Death Row Records and appears on several tracks from Dre’s 1992 classic The Chronic. The rapper/actress was hospitalized earlier this year, but never released the details of her condition – until now. Over the weekend, the usually private Lady of Rage shared some images to her Instagram account, showing injuries to her face resulting from a series of fainting spells. She explains,

I know a lot of people have been wondering what’s going on with me in regards 2 my health, well today I will let y’all know what I know. Since Sept. 2017 I have been going back & forth to doctors & specialists for what started out as shortness of breath. Within that time I’ve been hospitalized 5 times. Initially pneumonia was the diagnosis. Then I was told pneumonitis, to “we think you have lupus or sarcoidosis”, to “you’re depressed ” take this prozac”. 

The actress who once portrayed Baby Dee in the popular Friday series continued,

Fibromyalgia, sjorgens syndrome and idiopathic interstitial lung disease with fibrosis, which means the lungs are progressively being scarred & they don’t know why. That’s a lot, from 1 day you’re good, to the next day you’re not! My last performance was in Atlanta at the Queens of Hip Hop and thanks to my brother @dazdillinger we pulled it off!

Rage was scheduled to perform back on July 6 when her latest ordeal resurfaced.

July 6th I was scheduled to perform at the Essence Fest & was very excited because this would have been my first time. As I walked in to the hotel I was cool. By the time I got to the counter I knew something was wrong! I asked for some water, and the next thing I know, I’m hearing someone say, “don’t move, and don’t touch your eye”! I had blacked out and fell face first into a cast iron frame at the front desk! Blacking out is called syncope, and this was my 3rd & most damaging time!

Unfortunately, Rage is recovering from a fractured eye orbit and received 9 stitches. See her full post below.

I had blacked out and fell face first into a cast iron frame at the front desk! Blacking out is called syncope, and this was my 3rd & most damaging time! So as a result of that, I received 9 stitches, a fractured eye orbit, & fractured the side of my nose. Missed out on performing at Essence with @therealdougefresh and Summertime in the LBC with @snoopdogg ? Stayed in the hospital for 6 days,because the doctors are trying to find the reason for the syncope. Nothing was found. Previous, to current test showed nothing besides the fibrosis. One of the staff said “You’re a medical mystery”…well this mystery needs to be solved is what I’m thinking!! So as it stands, I’m trying to find the proper diagnosis and the proper treatment. For those of you who pray for me, please continue to do so. For those of you who send me well wishes, please continue to do so. I’m kind of a private person, revealing this is a big step for me. So there it is …& as always Thank you to those who have been there & continue to be there.?
