Max said he was sleeping, and he just woke, and the s**t was just hurting. He was also at the hospital. I feel bad. He looked really, really sick. He just started throwing up his s**t, he’s like, ‘I’ve been struggling, too.’ We’re both here in the same hospital. No, no, but Kai, Max’s whole right side, he can’t move. Like, Max can’t move his neck, and whole right leg, and his right arm. (Kai Cenat asks, ‘What he did?’) I don’t know. He just said he woke up and his s**t was just like that.”On September 18, 2025, a 14-second video surfaced on X, in which Plaqueboymax addressed the community from a hospital.
