Nate Dogg's cousin Donald Smith has told E! News that the superstar's condition is worse then people think.

According to Smith, the 39-year-old rapper/producer, real name Nathaniel Dawayne Hale was on a life support machine in a Los Angeles-area hospital with a feeding tube in his mouth.

Nate's situation has since improved and he has been taken off life support but still requires a feeding tube, according to Smith.

"He has suffered another stroke from his bad eating habits and unhealthy lifestyle," He continued "All we can do now is pray for him."

Silver a écrit:Oui,donc à cause de ses habitudes alimentaires de merde et de son mode de vie qui ne l'est pas plus,l'ami Nate a failli passer l'arme à gauche,c'est vraiment moche cette histoire moi qui kiffe sa musique,surtout d'il y a quelques années....

Si j'ai bien compris ya des chances pour qu'il ne chante plus au vu de ce qui lui est arrivé!

The Untouchable a écrit:son mode de vie n'a rien avoir avec son AVC.
Ma grand mère en a fait deux et elle buvait pas et fumais encore moins de la weed...

Wikipedia a écrit:Les AVC sont parfois liés à une mauvaise hygiène de vie (tabagisme, obésité), mais ils peuvent aussi survenir du fait de l'hérédité et de certaines maladies spécifiques (hypertension artérielle, hypercholestérolémie, fibrillation auriculaire, troubles de la coagulation sanguine).

One of the most tragic stories to hit the music industry in the last few years is without a doubt that of Nathaniel "Nate Dogg" Hale. The legendary singer blessed his fans with wonderful and timeless music for over a decade, before suffering from two strokes within a one-year period.

Since then, details on his condition have been scarce and Nate Dogg's supporters have been desperately trying to find out how he is doing and whether he will ever be able to make music again. Dubcnn just received an E-Mail from our good friend Damion "Damizza" Young, who recently visited Nate Dogg, letting us know Nate's current status.

Dubcnn would like to thank Damizza for finally providing information on Nate Dogg and for reaching out to dubcnn to let the world know. Here is the message:

"I finally reached Nate Dogg’s mom (thru Warren), Ms. Ruth, and she invited me to visit Nate anytime at the facility he’s in — I went the same day, April 2. I was allowed to spend six hours with him.
Not only were my biggest hits with Nate, he is my friend and my strongest mentor/supporter.

When he first heard me rap he said, “Damizza, if somebody has a fu**ing problem with you tell them to call me ... you have my number – I don’t care who you give it to. And I’ll tell them to s**k my dick (sorry Ms. Ruth, I gotta just tell the truth).” That is Nate’s sense of humor.

It hurt me deeply to see my friend in such a state and I told him “there are many people who don’t know where you are or what condition you’re in.” I asked his Mom and him if he had heard music in a long time. Nate’s way of communicating is to look up if it’s a “Yes” and to the side if it’s a “No.” He looked at me with saddened eyes and looked to the side.

I took him, in his wheelchair, to a computer and played him all the songs we’ve done together. His Mom was surprised because all the records Nate and I did were positive ones that expressed his true feelings. I played him “Music and Me.” I played him “Wake Up.” And “Where I Wanna Be.” I also sung him an unreleased record we had done just for fun ... and his face lit up and he laughed, as he is able.

Although it was sad to see my friend in this state I had to stay strong and keep my focus positive (for both of us). He is steps away from speaking again and when I asked him in our classic inside-joke kinda way, “let’s make a deal ...” I said “I’ll bring you your catalogue, headphones and a CD player if you just try to talk again.” He looked up and signaled “Yes!”

I go back in two weeks and I hope that his listening to his music helps bring him back from whatever space he’s in. God knows, in my darkest times, HE was the one who pulled ME out.

I want to thank Snoop, Kurupt, Warren, Butch and all of his real friends and family who have visited him since his stroke; I KNOW what it’s meant to Nate because, as I mentioned their names, his face lit up.

I thank Ms Ruth for just letting me see my friend, and I am honored that she gave me the following statement to release to his fans, friends, and the public." - Damion "Damizza" Young

TO NATE’S FRIENDS AND FANS:

“Nathaniel Hale's (aka Nate Dogg) mother Ruth and his entire family would first like to thank all his friends, fans, and acquaintances for their prayers, well wishes, cards, thoughts and anything you may have said or done during this trying time.

“For those who don't know, Nate suffered a major stroke in September 2008, his second in a one-year period. At the present time, Nate is alert and aware although he is unable to speak and has no use of his hands and feet, he is responding by eye movement. As to be expected, he has moments of despair and sadness, but we believe that with God, all things are possible. We continue to trust God for Nate’s progress. We ask that you continue to respect his privacy as he strives to get better. We solicit your continued prayers.”

Xzibit & Mack 10 Honor Nate Dogg at Krush Groove Show



When West Coast rappers Xzibit and Mack 10 hit the stage for the Kday Krush Groove concert in Universal City, California, Friday (April 16), they both made sure to send a special shoutout to one person: Nate Dogg. Although the two didn't perform together they have each collaborated with Nate in the past and took time out to mention the Long Beach, native who is currently recovering after suffering two strokes.

"I've made a log of money with this man," Mack 10 said amidst the crowd's cheers. "Put your hands in the air for Nate Dogg!" He then launched into one of Nate's many features Snoop Dogg's 'It Ain't No Fun.' Xzibit, who was a surprise guest at the concert, wasted no timing jumping into the Nate assisted 'B---- Please,' before performing some of his other songs including and 'Oh No,' and 'Paparazzi.'

As previously reported since suffering two debilitating strokes, Nate has making slow but steady process. "He's in therapy getting himself together, that's all I can tell people," said his cousin and rapper Warren G in a recent interview. "I see him any and every time I want to. It's hard when you have somebody that got two strokes, usually the person don't make it. But he's strong. He's getting good therapy and he's pulling out of it."

Hosted by Los Angeles radio personality Devi Dev, the Kday Krush Groove concert featured performances from two hip-hop's most prominent Bay Area MCs Too Short and E-40. The show also included appearances from DJ Quik, Bone Thugs -N-Harmony, Chamillionaire, and the legendary Slick Rick.
