Nearly a month after his brutal car accident, Lil Scrappy continues down the road of recovery, but it’s not exactly smooth sailing.

The rapper on Sunday, July 1 posted an update explaining he fell out of his wheelchair, which he uses while his broken leg heals.

“Man I just fell again but this time out of the wheelchair,” he said on Instagram. “It felt like somebody tilted it over but no one was there so I’m like, ‘Wait a min.’ Frfr I start going crazy. It [sic] was definitely in pain. I had to pray first cause that was weird, then I had to breathe off the pain lol, had to put that ice on it, cool that thing down. Thank God I can move a lot more and do things cause I would of [sic] been totally messed up. It scared me lol.

He added that he feels “a whole different way about handicap people now” and vows not to  “park in there [sic] spot no more and imma help Who I can fr.”

The “Love and Hip Hop” star was hospitalized following a major car accident in the early hours of Sunday, June 3, TMZ reported. While who was driving is disputed — officers who responded to the Miami collision say Scrappy was driving while the rapper believed his friend dozed off behind the wheel — the car collided with a pole as the duo left the King of Diamonds strip club.

It was totaled and Scrappy was discovered nearly unconscious outside of the car. His friend Ca$ino Roulette was also outside of the vehicle. Neither one could coherently recall what happened.

Yet even though Scrappy was left with a broken foot that required surgery, it was Roulette who was in the ICU.

Meanwhile, fans have been sharing supportive messages as the LHH star continues to recover.

“You need to chill, lol. I know you want to move around, don’t make it worst [sic]. Blessings to you.”

“Now that’s a real GRATEFUL MOMENT @reallilscrappy ☝🏾🙏🏾.”

“Get well soon, Be careful, God bless you and your beautiful wife and family.”

Independent journalism still matters.

We hope this story was worth your time. For over 14 years, Atlanta Black Star has stayed Black-owned and independently run. We didn't get here by waiting on ad budgets that were never built to prioritize us. Our readers did that.

Corporate support for Black media has always been thin. Outlets like ours get roughly 1% of the $170 billion spent on U.S. advertising each year, and that margin is shrinking further as advertisers walk back the DEI-linked commitments they made in 2020. That's the backdrop. It's not why we're asking.

The wider picture isn't any steadier. Newspaper ad revenue has fallen more than 80% since 2005, and local newsrooms are closing at a rate of roughly two a week nationwide. When outlets go under, it's rarely the ones built to center a Black perspective from the ground up that get to stick around.

We know a request for support isn't why you came here. But without readers choosing to fund this work directly, the depth of reporting we can do at home and abroad shrinks along with everyone else's. If you're not in a position to give, that doesn't change how much we value you as a reader.

If you are able to, a recurring contribution does more for us than a single one-time gift, because it lets us plan the next investigation instead of just the next invoice. It takes about 30 seconds, no long form, no account. Thank you for continuing to support independent journalism and freedom of the press.
