Capital Bra Livestreams Drug Scare, Leaves Hospital Hours Later

The episode underscores a relapse his manager says puts his health at risk.

Overview

  • The rapper, who went live from an ambulance early Monday, appeared disoriented and repeatedly called for help as thousands watched.
  • In the hospital audio captured on his phone, he told a doctor he had taken Xanax, Tilidin and cocaine, naming a benzodiazepine, an opioid painkiller and a stimulant.
  • Hours after the stream, he left the clinic, said he was undercooled, apologized to fans and criticized how long help took.
  • Manager Drilon Cocaj said a doctor found his values good, warned the relapse could cost him his life and urged people not to offer him drugs at shows.
  • Cocaj later suggested a fan supplied the substances, a claim reported by one outlet and not independently confirmed.
