Are Young M.A’s yellow eyes a result of her drinking habits?
Jaundice occurs when there is an excess of bilirubin, a yellowish substance, in the blood that is not being properly removed by the liver. Social media users began to speculate that the rapper’s condition is a result of her drinking habits.
Young M.A had used alcohol to deal with her mental health problems in the past. She had admitted to drinking an entire bottle of Absolut vodka just to cry her heart out. Excessive drinking can lead to liver cirrhosis, for which yellow eyes are visible symptoms.
