He also mentioned being handcuffed to his hospital bed, where he alluded to allegations being made against him that he plans to fight in court. You can find his tweets below.

At this point, those are all the details to emerge about the incident, but we've reached out to Fresco's camp for further comment.
Fresco's Twitter also indicates he's at work on a new mixtape set for release this year titled How U Survive Through Life Everyday. His last release came in 2015 with Pablo Frescobar.

Doctors say I'm extremely lucky, a couple centimetres closer to my heart and I would've dropped out on the spot. Back home now & recovering.
