U.T.F.O.'s Kangol Kid recently revealed that he's receiving treatment for colon cancer, for which he recently underwent surgery. While in the hospital, Kangol Kid took to Instagram to reveal that LL Cool J paid him a special visit.
Kangol Kid captioned the post, "NEED I SAY MORE???? I stepped out of the recovery-room...and was greeted by this guy. Maybe you've heard of him??? 😂😂😂 Ladies and Gentlemen, the man, the myth, the legend, Mr. G.O.A.T. himself L.L.COOL J @llcoolj @rockthebells visited me and elevated my healing energies in ways doctors can never duplicate. Thank you Baby Bro. I love you man."
Amid his ongoing treatment and hospital care, a GoFundMe has been set up for Kangol Kid to help with medical bills. The statement on the website explained that he was able to get surgery after the cancer was detected fairly early, but the cost of the treatment has been expensive. Kangol Kid also opened up about his scary diagnosis after realizing that something was wrong with his health, and vowing to put up a fight.
He told Pix11 earlier this year, "I didn’t believe it. That’s the last thing you want to hear. … when those words were said to me, I fell out inside. I stood up after awhile, spoke to my friends who kept my spirits up through all of this and my mentality just changed, like, ‘You gotta fight this.'"
