After running tests and a CT scan, the Ohio native was diagnosed with a severe sinus infection:

However, on July 31, 2023, IShowSpeed was hospitalized once again, leaving the online community concerned. Slipper later revealed that the content creator needed to return for blood work. He also stated that the doctors advised him to remain in the hospital for further observation.
