Black Rob has problems with health for almost five years already. In early 2015, the "Let's Get It" rapper suffered a mild stroke. In a previous interview, the 51-year-old revealed that it wasn't because of drugs. "I had high blood pressure and being that I had that, that takes a lot out of a brother." He has since recovered and in April 2015, he was reportedly feeling better after living a healthier lifestyle where he stopped drinking and started eating better. Black Rob, whose real name Robert Ross, said, "I don't drink no more." But in the video where he poured his heart out for DMX, he revealed he had suffered five strokes. However, it is unclear when the others occurred.
