People have expressed concerns about the rapper's health after a video of Young M.A in a barber's chair surfaced.

Fans have noticed for some time that Young M.A has been missing from the spotlight. There was a time when the Brooklyn rapper was beasting her way through the industry, but there has been a lull. Her last album, Off The Yak, was dropped off in 2021, and Young M.A returned in October 2022 with a single. However, that's about all fans have seen from the rapper, as her Instagram page has also been wiped clean.

Rumors about M.A have run rampant, even before her mysterious break from the mainstream. People speculated about her health, and there was gossip about her entering recovery, but those conversations dissipated as quickly as they began. A new video has surfaced and has the public talking once again; this time, Young M.A reacted to people who thrust her name into controversy.

It was supposed to be a simple video that showed a before and after of Young M.A getting her hair done. The rapper was seen sitting in a barber's chair, and people noticed her eyes looked yellow. Soon, social media users began firing off diagnoses, questioning whether the rapper had jaundice. Additionally, the barber who recorded and posted the clip also found themselves at the heart of criticism. People accused them of purposefully trying to make Young M.A look bad. The barber and the rapper reacted to the attention.

"Y'all got so much to say as if I'm trying to embarrass my dawg," the barber wrote. "She reposted my video if she didn't want me to record she would have told me. Y'all don't know our bond nor our friendship. What y'all need to do is just send your prayers for her and that's that. She didn't have a haircut in a month and she wanted me to bring her haircut back to life which I did!!!!!
