Lil Scrappy was hospitalized in Atlanta earlier this week after suffering from a near fatal asthma attack.
The 28-year old woke up Tuesday morning after a night of heavy drinking and could barely breathe. The rapper was rushed to the hospital and made it just in time according to him.
"I damn near died. If it weren’t for my driver, mom, and another rap artist I would have been dead," Scrappy told TMZ.
He was treated and released and now owns a "breathing machine."

Tupac Shakur's hologram image at the Coachella festival was such an epic event it's hard for people to stop talking about it.
Fans of deceased icons wonder what it would be like to see the likes of Notorious B.I.G., Heavy D or Aaliyah on a similar stage at some point in the future.
Vibe.com caught up with Raekwon of the Wu Tang Clan to get his thoughts on last Sunday's show.
"That's incredible," Raekwon tells VIBE. "It's beautiful, b. All I can say that it's live. It's wild when you see it. It looked like his spirit. That was brilliant. I tip my hat to Dre because it really shows the sense of love he had for Pac. Just to see someone do it for the first time ever. We only seen sh*t like that on TV."
Chef said he couldn't help but think about Ol' Dirty B*stard while watching the show.
"It made me think about Ol' Dirty, too," Rae says. "I would definitely have to have a understanding with his moms. I think it all starts with [her] respect level. If [she] want us to do it and they feel like it's cool that's when we would continue to move on and do that. I wouldn't jump up out of the blue and just say 'yo, I want to reincarnate your son this way.' I think it's important that you give moms respect for her son."

Residents of Glendale, Calif., you’ve been warned: Kim Kardashian wants to be your mayor.
In an un-aired clip from Sunday’s “Khloe & Lamar” posted on RadarOnline.com, Kardashian tells her sister Khloe that she’s going to run for mayor of Glendale, a suburb of Los Angeles, in five years. They’re driving around Dallas pointing out the Ross Perot Museum as she reveals her grand plan.
“I decided I’m going to run for the mayor of Glendale,” Kardashian says. “It’s going to be in like five years. So I have to buy a house there, you have to have residency there.”
Kardashian has picked one of her friends to run her campaign. She plans to work her heritage to her advantage: “It’s like Armenian town,” she says of Glendale.
The city of approximately 200,000 is home to more than 50,000 Armenian-Americans, according to the 2000 census. Will that be enough for the 31-year-old reality TV queen to get elected, or will another heavily made up ingenue be driving past her home one day musing as she did about Perot?
“Ross Perot,” Kardashian tells her sister, “I remember when that guy ran for president.”

Tupac Shakur's hologram appearance at the Coachella festival was such a hit that a mega tour is being discussed according to the Wall Street Journal.
Dr. Dre and Snoop Dogg are reportedly already in talks regarding two tour scenarios.
The first one would be a stadium tour that would feature Dre, Snoop, Eminem, 50 Cent, Wiz Khalifa and the Tupac hologram. This tour in all likelihood would shatter every previous record for hip hop shows depending on the amount of dates scheduled.
The second scenario would be a scaled down version of the previously mentioned tour that would only include Dre, Snoop and Tupac's hologram. That one would take place in smaller arenas.
Both would be great shows, but the stadium trek would bring excitement not seen for a hip hop tour since 2000's Up In Smoke jaunt that featured Dre, Snoop, Eminem, Ice Cube, Xzibit, Devin The Dude, Westside Connection and Kurupt.
Would the stadium tour be the greatest in rap history if it happens? Take our poll and let us know what you think in the comment section below.
