Duck Down Records CEO and rapper, Buckshot, has been reportedly hospitalized after suffering a series of seizures.
According to the rapper's partner Dru-Ha, he had just returned from a three-week tour run in Europe prior to the episodes. He is now hospitalized and is in stable condition.
No further details about his condition were revealed.
Buckshot was slated to perform with Black Moon at a concert in Manhattan on Friday (September 26) -- which would have also featured Duck Down artists Sean Price, Rock, Tek, Steele and others -- but due to the unexpected events, they have postponed the sold out show until November.
"While of course we are disappointed to have to reschedule a sold out show, obviously nothing takes precedent over Buckshot's health," a rep for the label said in a statement. "If [Buckshot] could walk out of that hospital on his own right now I know he would have been on that stage. He was truly looking forward to this night."
The label says that tickets purchased for tonight's show will be honored at the new date.
