August Alsina Confirms New Health Problems

By: Amanda Anderson-Niles

R&B singer August Alsina had a major health scare last year when he collapsed during a performance and had a seizure, and it’s one of the reasons he had to step away from touring briefly.

But now the singer confirms to fans that he’s battling another health scare.

According to August, he just had major surgery to combat a disease involving his vision.

He posted the following on Instagram hours ago:

So I have this eye disease.. Blind in my left, and losing vision in my right. In order to prevent my eyesight from deteriorating ihad to do this surgery. This shit is beyond painful & Life be throwin’ a nigxa curve balls but what I’ve gained from it all is priceless… A lot of things that are so natural to us in life (like waking up and being able to see 👀) we can take it for granted. Thank God the OG for allowing me to see.. The good the bad the ugly, I’m just glad to see👀
