Although the rapper had just holla’d at his homie the day before, something must have taken an unfortunate turn. Benny had to postpone a show which was scheduled for last night. The show’s new date has yet determined.

According to Benny’s Instagram, ticket holders will have nothing to fear and will still be able to see the show once Benny has recovered.
Praying for a Speeding Recovery
In the U.S., 10 people die from asthma-related incidents every day. While asthma can be deadly, it is usually survivable. That is if the patient receives proper treatment early enough. Thankfully, those around Benny are taking good care of him. Despite this, it could take between 1-3 weeks before Benny is feeling back to normal.
In the interim, Benny has received an enormous outpouring of love and support from fans on Instagram and Twitter.
