After celebrating her 31st birthday on a yacht last week, the Brooklyn-born artist is sharing some major life updates with fans.

Little more than a month ago, New York rapper Young M.A. admitted to her fans that she recently spent some time in the hospital following a health scare. Though she's mostly kept details under wraps, the 31-year-old confirmed that she's been feeling better than ever lately, and recent photos reflect that her appearance is matching her energy. On Easter Sunday (April 7), M.A. took to her Instagram Story to offer more information to followers, offering an explanation as to why she's "been low-key" as of late.

"Long story short, basically, it's a small setback," the "Tip The Surgeon" hitmaker optimistically noted. "Unfortunately, I made. a lot of wrong decisions in my life. You know, [they're] starting to catch up with [me]. So, I just want y'all to know, besides all that I'm actually doing much better," she explained, alleviating the concern of many nervous fans. "I've been getting well. I've been very much sober. I don't want to specifically go into detail. Because I really want to bring y'all on my journey."

Young M.A. Updates Fans on Her Life

While focusing on her health is certainly a number one priority for now, Young M.A. also promised that she's got more heat on the way. "I'm dropping some new music of course," the Herstory artist happily revealed. "Imma also have a documentary with my story. Imma keep y'all in tune, catch y'all back up. Because I know y'all been wondering." She assured those watching that she's simply mysterious by nature, and is usually the type to "keep [her] personal problems to [herself]."

"But now it's time to expand that and express that to y'all," she said near the end of her post. "It's gon' be one of those M.A. summers, I promise you," the recent birthday girl declared in a follow-up Story. Concern for Young M.A. first began circulating online last month, after a video shared by the lyricist's barber showed her looking rougher than usual after apparently not having her hair cut for some time.
