News of the surgery has cast a dark cloud over an otherwise exciting time for Ski Mask. Earlier this month, he was tapped as the campaign star of Bape and Undefeated's Spring/Summer 2018 collaborative collection, and also announced that his long-awaitedBewareThe Book Of Eli project would drop sometime in April.
