Further, in 2019, the rapper revealed that he was recovering from DVT (Deep Vein Thrombosis).
DVT occurs when a blood clot (thrombus) forms in deep veins in the body, most commonly in the legs.
Writing on his Facebook page about his journey, Jazz said he was recovering and thanked everyone for “their overwhelming love and support shown from across the world.”
Doctors advised him to take some time off and not to fly for a few more weeks. It meant he had to cancel his upcoming shows.
Jazz apologized to his fans and expressed his eagerness to return to the stage. He also purchased a drum kit to pass the time while recovering at home.
