The video surfaced on Sunday, displaying the 48-year-old YouTube star getting candid on his unfortunate experience with the heart attack. The host asked him about the whole story around the incident, as in what led to the ultimate result. After taking a brief pause, Kali illustrated how his day began and how it ended. He disclosed that his day was “going good”, had been to the dentist the day before, and was prescribed an opioid pain reliever, Vicodin. 

Therefore, he took one next day, hours ahead of a heavy dinner. “That night I ate something I’d never eaten,” he spoke. He had a Stan African meal with beef and rice, followed by an ice cream sandwich as dessert. Interestingly, Kali claimed that he never eats ice cream, yet, he did that day, on top of two high-cholesterol meals. Soon after going to bed, he got up stressed having heartburns. His wife, Helena gave him anti-acids and as they looked for remedies on Google, Kali vomited. “Bro I technically think I might have died during that drive there because I blacked out,” he said on the ride to the hospital with his wife.
