Kurtis Blow recovering form heart transplant surgery Kevin Fleming December 11, 2020 Entertainment, Music News Hip Hop icon Kurtis Blow recently underwent a heart transplant surgery in Los Angeles, California, according to the Washington Informer. His wife told the outlet that he is now recovering at home and the surgery was successful. “He is out of surgery. Keep the prayers and praises up. God does all things well,” she wrote on Monday (Dec. 7). The “Basketball” emcee, whose real name is Kurtis Walker, has had a history of heart issues. Back in 2016, he went into cardiac arrest near a mall in Woodland Hills. He collapsed right in front of the four police officers who were there to check out a nearby disturbance. He was rushed to the hospital and later thanked the officers for saving his life. “They got there so fast,” Walker said. “If they got there any later, I would have died. I want to thank the officers from the bottom of my heart, no pun intended.” In 2019, he reportedly underwent surgery to repair an aortic artery. While recovering from that surgery, he was rushed back to the emergency room for a second procedure. Read more in Revolt. Related
