Veteran dancehall artiste Future Fambo is recovering at home after reportedly suffering a mild heart attack on Sunday in New York, which prompted a swift response from FDNY ambulance personnel.
The “Rum and Red Bull” singer posted a 28-second video on Instagram showing himself lying on a sofa clad only in his underpants, hooked up to wires as emergency medical personnel worked to stabilize his vitals.

Fambo, who has been diagnosed with diabetes, said the scare began after he experienced “washing with cold sweat” following a meal of cornmeal porridge. A friend called an ambulance after noticing his distress.
“They said to come to the hospital, but I told them no. It look like mi blood sugar drop and when I eat the cornmeal porridge with the milk, it overload my system. Mi feel a cramp inna mi hand, dem say mi arthritis up but mi blood pressure good,” Fambo explained.
Despite declining hospital treatment, the deejay reassured fans and friends that he is “alright now.” He also shared that he received calls of concern from several fellow dancehall artistes, including Sean Paul, Flexx and Mavado.
The experience has reportedly prompted Fambo to reflect on his life and future. “Mi ah gi dem a last run and leave this life behind. Mi tired of the hypocrisy, the lying, the clout-chasing, it is mind-boggling sometimes,” he said, revealing plans to become a Christian in January 2026.
Recently, Fambo released a gospel-influenced single, Amazing Song, on the World Blast Records label. “My song was not for clout so it come in like mi caan sing it and nah live the life. You know say is half an hour mi pray to the Lord fah before this heart attack happen, is a good thing too, because yu have to talk to Him before,” he added.
