Shaker had initially responded well to treatment, leading to his discharge from the intensive care unit. However, his condition took a sharp turn for the worse due to respiratory failure, necessitating his immediate return to intensive care under close medical supervision. His health remains critical, with a dedicated medical team monitoring him constantly.

Dispelling rumors circulating on social media, Mostafa clarified that Shaker's hospitalization stemmed from severe bleeding complications related to pre-existing colon problems. This led to a critical six-minute cardiac arrest, from which he was revived after multiple resuscitation attempts. Emergency surgery was performed to address the bleeding, and the artist has since regained consciousness and recognized his family.
