The stroke occurred on what was supposed to be the rapper’s 39th birthday.
“While he is in stable condition, this remains a challenging time for his loved ones, and his family calls on the public to keep him in their thoughts and prayers as they navigate this difficult period,” his family said at the time.
Kaylow’s recovery

The singer told News24 that his situation has also taken a toll on him mentally.
“Right now, it’s a major mental battle. I’m doing my best not to give up despite the pain and loneliness,
“I’m really trying not to give up. It’s so painful and difficult, and most of the time, it’s incredibly lonely. It hurts.
“You find yourself asking a thousand questions like, ‘Why did this happen?’ especially when you’re responsible for so many people,” he told the publication.
