Shaggy 2 Dope of Insane Clown Posse has been hospitalised, but it has absolutely nothing to do with the fact that just last week he was filming himself eating snow.

Insane Clown Posse’s Shaggy 2 Dope made headlines late last week, suggesting that “dirt snow” could ward off coronavirus (It doesn’t), and he later ended up in the hospital, but not for the reason you might think.

The musician actually needed a procedure on his neck, but while in the hospital he took the opportunity to hop on social media and even live stream his podcast for a brief 50-minute show with his partner in crime The Creep. Shaggy revealed during the episode that the surgery went well. Sadly, the hospital did not have Faygo, so the musician made do with some Pepsi. See his posts from the hospital below.

While the coronavirus concern spread, Shaggy 2 Dope posted a rather idiotic video that featured him eating out of a pile of dirty snow, telling viewers, “God made dirt, dirt don’t hurt. Pick out the rocks and then it’ll build your immune system. That’s how you beat the fuckin’ system.”

The World Health Organization (WHO) has declared the coronavirus outbreak a pandemic and has listed the best practices to take to limit the rate of infection among the global populous. Nowhere on their site is there a single mention of dirty snow, much less any potential benefits that could be gained from consuming it. In other words, it is not a recommended practice.

And of course, the two have utilised this moment to begin a podcast from Hospital. Live from the Hospital, The Shaggy and The Creep Show is now available for you to listen to in full below.

Be sure to stay safe during this period of virus, self-isolating and keeping your hands clean at all times.
