The American country singer and producer Blanco Brown, best known for his 2019 hit The Git Up, has sustained "significant injuries" in a crash and is currently in Intensive Care in the US state of Georgia following surgery.
The star's record label issued a statement on Thursday morning after Brown - real name Bennie Amey III - had undergone 12 hours of surgery.
"BBR Music Group's beloved Blanco Brown, the artist behind 2019's worldwide viral smash The Git Up and current hit Just the Way, was involved in a head-on collision Monday night near his home in Atlanta, GA," read the statement.
"The accomplished writer, vocalist and Grammy-nominated producer suffered significant injuries and was transported to a local hospital where he underwent a 12-hour surgery to address those traumas.
"Additional surgeries are expected as he currently rests in the ICU. Blanco, his family and his friends ask for your prayers during this time."
Brown released his debut album, Honeysuckle & Lightning Bugs, last October. As a producer and writer he has worked with Fergie, Pitbull and Monica, among others.
