“Thank you Jesus for saving my life. Hey, besties I’m in a better space today to properly update you on my current health situation. I suffered a damaged hernia a few days ago that sent my body into sepsis, as a result, I was rushed to the hospital for immediate surgery,” her post reads in part.
Nonetheless, Spice has been relatively quiet on the musical scene and had stated that she was taking a break from social media.
The 40-year-old, who is already mother to son Nicholas (aged 16) and daughter Nicholatoy (aged 12), was last linked with former boyfriend Justin Budd, but she confirmed in an interview that they split last year after dating for two years.
Spice is a Jamaican singer, songwriter, DJ, businesswoman, and philanthropist. She is one of the most celebrated artists from Jamaica in the last decade.
