Da LES added that he was sharing his story to “help” others.
“S**t’s real. It can happen to anybody. One minute you’re cool like me. The next, you experience the worst. I feel like my life has changed. But it ain’t the end. This is bigger than me.”
Da LES recounted how he had a stroke on his 39th birthday and woke up in the hospital a month later.
He added: “It’s nothing that you can control. I’m just lucky to be alive”.
