Kanye West Car Crash

Kanye West was in a Los Angeles hospital recovering from injuries sustained in a car accident.

West was injured shortly after leaving a recording studio at about 3 a.m. Wednesday morning on October 23rd in 2002. Details about his condition were not released by the hospital.

His manager Gee Roberson stated that West's life was not in danger and that he was in stable condition with a fractured jaw. West was expected to be released from the hospital within the next few days and his jaw would be wired shut for the next six weeks.

While the LAPD could not disclose any details, sources close to West told he was in L.A. working on music for State Property's Beanie Sigel and Peedi Crakk, and after the studio session, West crashed his rented vehicle near the W Hotel in West Hollywood, where he was staying. No other people were involved in the incident according to the sources.

But what was revealed after 10 years about Kanye West's car accident?

In the latest episode of Whoo Kid's Untold Stories the G- Unit DJ spoke about the day that Kanye West got into a car crash that almost took his life. During the show DJ Whoo Kid discussed about a studio session at which Kanye and Ludacris were both present. The evening ended with Kanye getting upset, speeding off in his car and getting into an accident that took him months to recover from. All Hip Hop reports:

    Man, DJ Whoo Kid's got stories for days!! In the latest edition of "Whoo Kids Untold Stories," the G-Unit DJ speaks about his studio session with Kanye West and Ludacris the night of Kanye's life-changing car accident. As we all know, before Kanye West became known as one of the best rappers in the game, he was in a terrible accident back in 2002 that left his jaw broken in three places which had to be wired shut while it healed. Kanye was inspired to create "Through the Wire" and utilized actual footage from his recovery, which in turn, made him a household name and catapulted him to fame.

According to Whoo Kid, both Ludacris and Kanye West were in the studio with him to contribute to one of his mixtapes when Kanye went, well, all "Kanye" in the studio and spit for an hour straight in the booth. Ludacris didn't know Kanye very well and was super annoyed with him for wasting his time, because basically Ludacris just wanted to come in, lay his verse down and bounce.
