Christopher "Kid" Reid reveals that he almost lost his life by ignoring early signs of heart failure, but a timely transplant saved him.

Christopher "Kid" Reid, half of the duo Kid 'N Play, revealed on "Good Morning America" that he recently underwent a life-saving heart transplant.

During the candid interview with Michael Strahan, the 59-year-old rapper shared that his health battle began in July when he noticed a significant drop in his energy levels.

Initially attributing the exhaustion to aging and the demands of his career, Reid later discovered he had congestive heart failure after experiencing breathing difficulties.

Despite medical treatment, his condition worsened rapidly, leading to a critical situation where his heart began to fail and affect other organs.

After just eight days on the transplant list, Reid received a new heart in a seven-hour surgery that gave him a fresh start and a newfound appreciation for life.

Reid hopes his story will encourage people, especially those of color, to prioritize their health and not neglect regular check-ups in the face of busy lifestyles or fear of bad news.

With millions of adults in the U.S. living with heart failure, Reid's experience serves as a reminder that taking care of your health, especially in the presence of risk factors like hypertension and diabetes, should be a top priority.
