US rapper Young Bleed has been hospitalised in intensive care. The news comes just days after he performed at the cultural festival ComplexCon in Las Vegas. TMZ reported that the How Ya Do That rapper suffered a major medical emergency. Bogus media reports pronounced Young Bleed, real name is Glenn Clifton Jr, dead on Tuesday, but Young Bleed's sister, Tedra Johnson-Spears, sent out a message on behalf of his family, stating that he was still alive and in hospital. She debunked the rumours by sharing an update via Facebook on Tuesday, and asked fans to respect their family's privacy. "This will be my first and last post," Johnson-Spears began in her post about the Baton Rouge, Louisiana, rapper. "We are receiving a tremendous amount of calls about my big brother Glenn, Tank, Young Bleed. If you have not called his mother personally, please do not post about him. "Our family asks that you respect our privacy and hold all calls and texts at this time. He is still currently in ICU, and his mother asked if you all would respect her wishes and not make any RIP posts." Witnesses at the Vegas event at the weekend have shared that he appeared energetic and in good spirits during his live performance.
