Rapper French Montana hospitalized after suffering ‘cardiac issues’

French Montana was hospitalized on Thursday, according to authorities.

A Public Information Officer with the Los Angeles County Sheriff’s Department confirms to PEOPLE that deputies responded to the rapper’s Calabasas home just before 1:30 p.m. for a medical call.

After arriving at the scene, French, 35, was transported to a hospital.

According to TMZ, the “Unforgettable” rapper had been experiencing severe stomach pains, nausea and an increased heart rate.

French’s hospitalization comes a few weeks after the rapper celebrated his birthday by taking a trip to Africa. The rapper was born and raised in Morocco.

While he was there, French documented his trip and posted a number of photos with his parents and loved ones on Instagram.

“LIVE FROM AFRICA !! Mission impossible accomplished 🙏” read one caption in a slideshow of photos.

“Best bday ❤️ saw my moms and pops in africa !!!” wrote French in another snap, which was captured as he held his arm around his dad mid-laughter.

French is set to release his third studio album, Montana, this month.

The upcoming album will include French’s single “Writing on the Wall” featuring Post Malone, Cardi B and Rvssian, as well as three other singles he has released this year: “Slide” featuring Blueface and Lil Tjay; “Wiggle It” featuring City Girls; and “Suicide Doors” featuring Gunna.
