Puerto Rican rapper Guaynaa reportedly suffered a major car accident in Los Angeles over the weekend. However, his girlfriend Lele Pons confirmed that the musician was doing well and undergoing recovery at home.

The Venezuelan singer-influencer took to Instagram to thank fans and well-wishers for sending their “love and messages” for her boyfriend. She shared a series of photos with the rapper and confirmed that he did not suffer major injuries:

“@guaynaa was a victim of a car accident! He is now in the process of recovery and will continue to be for the next couple of days! So blessed and fortunate that nothing happened and he’s okay.”

Meanwhile, Guaynaa also posted a set of pictures to update fans about his health condition. He thanked his family, friends and followers for their support and wishes and said he was grateful to life and God:

“Grateful with life, and with father God. In the early hours of yesterday, I was the victim of a vehicle accident. Now it's time to recover.”

In the photos, the musician is seen lying on the bed with a brace around his neck. According to the French Toast PR Agency, the accident took place when a high speed vehicle hit the singer’s car in the middle of the road.

The rapper suffered “severe blows and traumas” and was immediately transported to a nearby hospital. He was later discharged from the healthcare facility and is currently undergoing recovery at home under the supervision of his girlfriend.
