Bobby V, once upon a time known as Bobby Valentino, recently revealed that he had a serious health scare. Even worse, he fell ill just ahead of his scheduled performance on The Millennium Tour in Memphis.
The hitmaker shared a chilling account of his experience, explaining that he was hospitalized after experiencing alarming symptoms — including a “racing heart, fever, and numbness on the left side of his body.” After treatment, doctors suggested that these symptoms could have been related to a potential “neurological episode.”
“Last night I got real sick,” he explained in a video recorded at the airport. In a follow up statement to The Shade Room, he further detailed, “To be honest I wasn’t gonna say nothing about this but I was rushed to the hospital – heart racing, fever spiked, whole left side of my body went numb. The doctors said it might’ve been a neurological episode from exhaustion and dehydration. I laid there, IV in my arm, hearing them say I shouldn’t move.”
Despite the health scare, Bobby V’s commitment to his fans remained unwavering. When his original flight to Memphis was delayed, the “Slow Down” singer didn’t let it stop him from delivering an unforgettable performance. He reportedly spent a whopping $20,000 on a private jet to make it to the show on time.
With pure gratitude and concern, his fans flooded social media with messages of prayers and well-wishes, acknowledging his relentless dedication while encouraging him to put his health first. As of now, Bobby has not revealed whether he plans to take any time off from the tour.
“Slow downnnn.. your body is trying to warn ya!! That is stroke symptoms love. More water more rest,” one person commented on TSR’s page. Another wrote, “Listen to your body after this show though. Get some rest.”
The Black Promoters Collective (BPC) announced the return of the nostalgic tour last November with a star-studded lineup that includes Bow Wow, Omarion, and Trey Songz as the headliners. The 24-city tour, which began last month, includes major cities Brooklyn, Washington, D.C., Houston, Atlanta, New Orleans, and Chicago before wrapping up this month in Los Angeles.
Aside from Bobby V, concertgoers have been enjoying timeless hits from the rest of the line up which includes Plies, Boosie, Ying Yang Twins, RSVP (Ray J, Sammie, Bobby V, Pleasure P), Nivea, and special guest Rick Ross.
