    Fans have theories about why the hit-making singer has decided to go into early retirement. Currently, many suspect that his Autoimmune disease may be the major reason why he’s leaving the music industry. Both BET and Essence reported that the rapper suffered from severe illnesses from the disease. In the past, the rapper went through liver disease and even lost the ability to walk, due to severe nerve damage.

    Additionally, the singer has even discussed his Autoimmune disease with his ex Jada Pinkett Smith on The Red Table Talk. During the emotional talk, he revealed that both his grandfather and father both died from severe illnesses. Whether or not his Autoimmune Disease has led to his retirement, Alsina doesn’t want anyone’s sympathy. The artist plans to fight on and continue making music for as long as he can.
