Michael Jordan has been back in headlines in recent times in the wake of ESPN’s The Last Dance. While many have been able to look back at his illustrious career, a few others have been able to share their own stories about MJ including Willie D of the Geto Boys. Now, it’s no secret that MJ isn’t the nicest human being on the planet if his encounter with Chamillionaire says anything.

In a recent interview with Vlad TV, Willie D chimed in on MJ’s treatment of Chamillionaire in hindsight. Essentially, it boiled down to one’s character and Willie D made it clear that, especially in comparison to Jordan, he has a heart of gold.

“The thing is, I’m nowhere on his success level, or whatever, in terms of money or whatever, but as a human being, I’m more successful than him, you know? Because I don’t shit on people. I treat people like I want to be treated. I treat human beings with decency, a certain amount of decency, unless, of course, they violate me. Now, if you violate me that’s a different story,” he said.

He added that it doesn’t matter what someone’s profession is but at the end of the day, how you treat people in passing.

“I don’t care what you do for a living. I don’t care how famous you are. I don’t care that you scored 1,000 fuckin’ points in one basketball game. I don’t care if you actually fly muthafucka,” he explained. “You can literally know how to fuckin’ fly and it would not impress me if you are not a good person. I’m more concerned with what kind of person you are.”

Scarface revealed during an interview with his fellow Geto Boy member, Willie D, that he’s currently on dialysis due to kidney failure after suffering from health complications as a result of coronavirus. Ever since he announced to the world that he’d tested positive for the respiratory virus about a month ago, Scarface has been keeping fairly quiet about his health status. The Houston MC has hopped onto a few close friends’ live streams to give brief updates on his medical condition, but on Wednesday (April 22nd), he went into great detail about how coronavirus has severely affected his health.

Hooked up to a blood stint to help regulate his kidneys, Scarface told Willie that the same day that he told the public that he’d contracted coronavirus, he was also battling various other health problems, as well. “I fought the COVID, double bilateral pneumonia and kidney failure, all in my house,” he revealed. “This my new lifeline,” he continued, referring to dialysis. “I gotta change my entire diet. I gotta do dialysis four times a week, three hours a day. That’s taking all of my blood out, cleaning it, and putting it back in my body. Before the COVID, I never had kidney problems before.”

Along with Scarface, COVID-19 has impacted several players in the hip hop scene. This week, we lost New York rapper Fred The Godson to coronavirus, less than a month after he’d been diagnosed.Slim Thug was also among the rappers that tested positive for coronavirus, but on Wednesday, he updated his fans that his most recent test results had come back negative. Here’s hoping that Scarface’s medical condition improves soon. Watch his full conversation with Willie D below:

Brad Terrence Jordan, better known as the rapper Scarface, has officially tested positive for the coronavirus. The news was revealed during a live stream between Face and his Geto Boys partner Willie D, who appeared visibly shaken by the unfortunate news. Scarface came through to provide an update about his experience dealing with the virus, claiming that his past three weeks have been an “ordeal,” an understatement to be sure.

“It’s the craziest shit I’ve ever done and seen in my life,” explains Scarface. “I’ve been to the point where I thought I was going to die, bro. I threw up so much until it was just hot sauce. Like your gas and acids don’t sit in your stomach. I didn’t have no food in my stomach, it was coming up like bile, bro. I couldn’t breathe well. I was Hazmat, homie.”

“I got to feeling really really really bad,” he continues. “It started off with pneumonia in both of my lungs. Three-four days later my kidneys failed. Three or four days after that they told me I can’t move, I’m quarantined. I gotta wait until it subsides so I can wait and see what goes on with my kidneys now.”

Scarface also confirms that he’s been staying away from his family, with Willie joking that his house is big enough to make that an easy feat. Through the laughter comes a hard reality. “I’m saying Will, it’s a cold thing big homie,” says Face. “Let me save your life man. Don’t play no games man. I woke up Sunday morning, I had an itch in my throat. I called my doctor, he got me a z-pack and some Prednisone. Come Thursday, my fever kicks in like bam. One hundred one, one hundred two. Fever going up out the roof. Friday, Saturday, Sunday I go to the ER. I get in there, freezing to death. They stick these needles in my arm and start running me IVs.” 

Check out Scarface’s emotional talk with Willie D below, and send the legendary rapper your thoughts, prayers, and positive vibes. 

Geto Boys have never had an issue being direct with their audience. The rap legends known as Scarface, Bushwick Bill, and Willie D revolutionized the Houston scene and they never shied away from voicing their opinions. In recent years, Willie D has remained one of the more assertive figures in pop culture, discussing some of the most damning events happening today. Several years ago, he called out basketball analyst Charles Barkley in a song called “C**n” where he accused the man of speaking down on his race. Their differences still haven’t cleared up and, upon hearing about Kobe Bryant’s death this weekend, Willie D wished another legend was taken away instead.

“It’s okay to question God,” wrote the rapper on social media, filming a video where he expresses his shock at the passing of Kobe Bryant. “In the wake of the late, great Kobe Bryant dying tragically, suddenly, young, a lot of people are in pain all over the world. Some people are saying it feels like the loss of a family member. I agree. Kobe was a good dude. So much so that some people are questioning God. I got a question for God too. Why Kobe? How come you didn’t take Charles Barkley? No more talk.”

The response to Willie D’s post has been mixed with some fans echoing the sentiment and others reminding him that Barkley also has a family and it isn’t right to wish death on anybody. What do you think?
