West Coast rap icon Kurupt, best known as a founding member of Tha Dogg Pound, has reportedly been released from the hospital and is now recovering at home after a recent medical scare that had fans and peers alike concerned. AllHipHop exclusively reported the good news.
According to multiple music news outlets and insider reports, Kurupt had been hospitalized for several weeks earlier this month due to serious, undisclosed health issues. The specifics of his condition were not made public, and neither Kurupt nor his representatives have offered detailed information about the underlying cause.
Support from Friends and Fellow Artists
The situation first drew widespread attention when longtime friend and fellow Dogg Pound member Daz Dillinger took to Instagram to ask fans for prayers and well-wishes for Kurupt’s recovery. Dillinger described the rapper as being on the mend and urged followers to “flood his Instagram” with messages of support.
Social media quickly filled with messages from fans, many of whom sent prayers and hoped for a full recovery. On Reddit and other platforms, supporters expressed relief at news of his improving condition and return home.
Road to Recovery
While hospitalized, sources close to Kurupt confirmed that he was steadily improving and in good spirits — albeit still under medical supervision for some time to come. Recent reports from hip-hop news sites indicate the 53-year-old has now been discharged and continues recuperate in the comfort of his home.
“He’s been released and will continue recovery with the support of his family and fans,” one insider told HotNewHipHop, noting that many peers in the rap community had extended their encouragement during his hospital stay.
Legacy and Past Health Challenges
Kurupt, born Ricardo Brown, has been a fixture in hip-hop since the early 1990s, gaining acclaim alongside artists like Snoop Dogg and Nate Dogg. His health struggles have previously surfaced in public before — notably in 2019 when he was hospitalized following an alcohol-related incident during filming of a reality series.
As he continues to recover, fans are rallying behind the veteran MC, celebrating his contributions to hip-hop and wishing him a swift, full return to health.
