Broadus first revealed on Thursday that she suffered a stroke and was hospitalized.
“I had a severe stroke this a.m. I started breaking down crying when they told me,” she announced on her Instagram Story at the time. “Like I’m only 24, what did I do in my past to deserve all of this.”
Although Broadus didn’t provide any details on what led to her stroke or her recovery, the singer has had a difficult health journey for years after beingdiagnosed with lupusat age 6.
Lupus is an autoimmune disease in which the body’s immune system mistakes healthy tissues as foreign invaders and attacks them rather than targeting the bad bacteria and viruses. It causes inflammation that can affect the joints, skin, kidneys, blood cells, brain, heart, and lungs. There is currently no cure for the disease.
Because lupus affects multiple organs in the body, it can increase the risk for a stroke.

“I’ve been good, better than I’ve ever been,” she said, revealing that she went “all natural” and recently took a more holistic approach to her health after a tough journey that included a2021 suicide attempt.
“I stopped taking all of my medication like five months ago,” she shared. “I’m just doing everything natural, all types of herbs, sea moss, teas. I started working out, drinking lots of water. So now I think my body’s like, OK, this is the new program and she’s getting used to it.”
