Flo Rida's 6-year-old son suffered a lacerated liver, collapsed lungs, and more injuries after falling from an apartment window earlier this month.

Flo Rida and Alexis Adams, the mother of his 6-year-old son, Zohar, found themselves in a nightmare after their child fell five stories from an apartment window. According to TMZ, Adams filed a lawsuit against several parties, including the construction and window installation companies, following her son’s accident that left him in an ICU. Alexis accused the defendants of negligence following her son's tragic fall. She claims that her son suffered a lacerated liver, collapsed lungs, fractures to his feet and pelvis, and internal bleeding after falling from their apartment window.

Alexis’ attorney, Steven Haddad, stated in the publication afterward that he fell at least 50 feet and barely survived. Unfortunately for Zohar, he’ll have to learn how to walk again due to the severity of the injury. At this point, the child is currently in a body cast and can hardly move. Unfortunately, there’s no timeline for when Zogar will be allowed to return home. Still, Alexis has been by his side during his time in the hospital. Still, there haven’t been many words from Flo Rida, whose relationship with Zohar has been unclear over the years.

After Hadda’s comments, Flo Rida broke his silence on the matter on Instagram. The rapper thanked his fans and peers for their well-wishes and prayers while assuring that his son receives top-notch medical attention. “Great day, thank you to everyone who reached out with their concerns and prayers for my son,” he wrote. “He is getting the best medical care and miraculously survived a tragic fall. I ask for your continued prayers as he undergoes rehabilitation but I would appreciate that this remains a private matter.”

Following the incident, Alexis Adams also shared a statement regarding her son’s tragic fall. “As a single mom to a special needs child, this feels like a nightmare. My heart is broken into a million pieces,” Adams wrote. “I am devastated, angry and struggling to come to terms with the fact that my only child has suffered severe injuries due to willful negligence of our landlord and others involved In failing to take necessary safety measures.” We’ll keep you posted on anymore updates on the matter.
