Tank is battling a devastating situation. Yet rather than allow the gravity of his condition to consume him, he decided to turn this experience into motivation for others. 

On Wednesday, Tank revealed to his Instagram followers that has gone “completely deaf” in his right ear and is losing hearing in his left.

“I’m going completely deaf in my right ear and I’m kinda losing sound in my left,” he said. “I’m dizzy. Can’t walk a straight line. All of this out of nowhere. Don’t know how or why. Seen the doctors, got an MRI, and all that good stuff going on. Medication. All of that.” 

Despite this, Tank made it clear that he will continue to fight and remain positive. He also told his fans that he will document this process because he knows that it could provide inspiration for others who are also fighting an uphill battle. 

“But, you know, it still hasn’t given me a reason to give up. Still hasn’t given me a reason to stop feeling like I can do and be everything that I’ve set out to be,” he said. “The goals are still the same, to be great, to be the greatest. I want to say that to you, too. No matter what you’re going through, no matter where you find yourself. Whether your body is failing you, whether your mind is failing you, whether your spirit is failing you, keep going. Keep pushing. I’mma document my process just to show you the fight. Just to show you that you’re still in it. We’re still in it.”
