In a recent interview with Tavis Smiley, rapper Trick Daddy revealed being diagnosed with the potentially-fatal autoimmune disease lupus...

"I went to the doctor, like, 12 years ago. She took all kinds of tests, because I was trying to get rid of what we call dry skin; she did biopsies and blood tests and swab tests. She told me I have lupus."

"I am allergic highly to the sun, that's my worst enemy. It's like an AK-47 (gun) with a double clip on it," Trick explains.

He adds, "A lot of people try to cover it up with regular make-up. It makes your skin pigmented. You can go from dark to light and not light to dark. You have to cover it up and conceal it.My mama had 11 children from 10 different men. If she can live with that, I know I can live with this."

We hope the best for Trick Daddy real name Maurice Young. He is 35 years old.
