“It started with sensory issues. I woke up one day and all the temperature in my body was distorted. My sense of hot and cold and what that meant to my brain was very confusing,”40 revealed to CNN. “I think one of the biggest struggles people with MS face is trying to define it to people and explain how it manifests itself. It’s very difficult, you know.”

40 is most known for his work with Young Money rapper/singer Drake, but has gone on to work with Lil Wayne, Alicia Keys, and more.
