Rapper Scarface has revealed his hospitalisation with a worrying image taken from his bed.
The Geto Boys artist, whose real name is Brad Terrence Jordan, was photographed connected to tubes while a nurse attended to him in a snapshot he shared on his Instagram on Saturday.

His name tag also revealed that he was being treated at a Houston Methodist hospital.
