Alsina revealed her battle with a liver disease that affects her immune system in a 2017 interview with Jada Pinkett-Smith.

“I have a liver disease in which my autoimmune system struggles with itself,” he noted. “Reality is that I’m always sick. I’d like to talk about it really, and I’m not looking for the sympathy of anyone. Do not treat me as if I were a fucking patient with cancer because I am not.”

Alsina was scheduled to perform at the Howlin ‘ Wolf in New Orleans on Sunday night (July 7) at an Essence After Dark event.
