Not to downplay the severity of Scrap’s incident yesterday buttt…it doesn’t seem like something the world would have been talking about, enough for TMZ to catch wind. You don’t think he actually reached out to them to tell his story, do you? LOL. Either way, glad to hear he’s ok after a severe asthma attack left him hospitalized yesterday. More details on the incident below. [[blasts “Get On My Level” at ignorant levels]]

Scrappy tells us … “I damn near died … if it weren’t for my driver, mom, and rap artist I would have been dead.”

The 28-year-old says he had been drinking pretty hard Monday night … and when he woke up Tuesday morning, he could barely breath and couldn’t talk — “I felt like I was dying.”

Fortunately, Scrappy’s people rushed him to Emory University Hospital … where he was treated and released. Scrappy says he now owns a “breathing machine” and tells us, “I will never leave anywhere without it again.”
