Griselda Records' Conway the Machine was shot in the head and neck in 2012, which left him with Bell's palsy. On Thursday, he posted a video of himself in the hospital during recovery, where he talked about his injuries and shared a heartfelt message about the shooting in the video's caption.
"Every time I watch this clip I shed tears for 3 reasons tho," he began. "Tears of pain, from seeing myself like this and remembering how I felt when my son and my family had to see me like this. Tears of joy when I look at this clip and think to myself damn I made it!! I finally made it!! I rose from this low point in life and now look what I became. And then tears of confusion, wondering all the time why GOD chose ME to give this gift to, to bless my life with success in the music business like this, gave me a second chance at life."
"Sometimes I cry on stages, like I did last night in Boston, because after all the wild sh*t I did and all the bad sh*t I did," he added. "Idk if I deserve this... like why am I still in god favor? Why are the people in these crowds singing my songs word for word and wearing merch and cheering so loudly for ME?? ... It’s like I love being on that stage but I hate for people to see me. I hate this Bell’s palsy sh*t man, the irony... Idk if I’m built for all this sh*t."
