IN THE STREETS & ON THE WEB

Iconic director John Singleton has suffered a stroke.

The ‘Boyz n the Hood’ filmmaker’s family confirmed to Page Six in a statement on Saturday that the incident happened on Wednesday while he was already at the hospital.

“On Wednesday, April 17th our beloved son/father, John Singleton, suffered a stroke while at the hospital,” the statement read. “John is currently in the ICU and under great medical care. We ask that privacy be given to him and our family at this time and appreciate all of the prayers that have been pouring in from his fans, friends and colleagues.”

B. Scott was first to report the news and TMZ followed with more details.

A family member told TMZ that the 51-year-old had checked himself into the hospital after his leg was weak after a flight home from Costa Rica and that the stroke was considered “mild.”

Although it’s unclear where Singleton is being hospitalized or for how long, celebrities were quick to send their prayers and well wishes on social media.

“Pray 4 my brother,” Snoop Dogg wrote on Instagram of a photo of the two of them.

“Praying hard this morning for my friend @johnsingleton,” actress Nia Long tweeted. “PULL THROUGH BABY.”

Comedian Nick Swardson also tweeted he was “Sending love and quick recovery to director John Singleton who suffered a stroke.”
