Love & Hip Hop Hollywood alum Apple Watts is fighting for her life at a Nevada hospital after her Mercedes-Benz was involved in a horrific automobile accident.
On Wednesday, the 36-year-old exotic dancer, video vixen and rapper was reportedly headed to Las Vegas on I-15 in Bakersfield, Calif., when her black Mercedes and a Ford F-250 pickup truck collided on the highway. Apple’s vehicle flipped numerous times before bursting into flames. California highway patrol revealed that one of the passengers in the Ford pickup rescued Apple from the burning car. She was airlifted to a Nevada hospital.
Apple’s sister exclusively spoke with The Shade Room about her sibling’s condition. The buxom entertainer reportedly has devastating injuries, including a broken spine, fractured skull and is currently unresponsive.
Once news of the tragic car accident spread online, Love & Hip Hop Hollywood fans and celebrities sent prayers up for Apple on various social media platforms.
Rapper YoYo, who played been an integral part in the reality star’s transition from the strip club to music, expressed love and encouragement for her girl.
“My love, my heart and my prayers go out to my “Love & Hip Hop” “Sister,” Apple Watts. I was introduced to Apple on LHH, and it’s as if I’ve known her my entire life,” she wrote. “ Hearing the news of her accident last night was truly devastating, but This battle is not over – God will have the final say! Apple is very special to me, and I’ve spent endless hours on the phone with her through her triumphs and her challenges. My daughters’ love her just as much as I do, and we All want Apple to win.”
The “Can’t Play With My YoYo” rapper continued. “I sincerely cherish my relationship with Apple and each and every opportunity I have to mentor her, and, if there is ONE thing that I know about Apple – it’s that she’s a fighter!! I’ve been rooting for her from day one, and I’m praying for her full recovery now. Lord, I ask that you cover Apple, her children, and her family during this very difficult time and that you heal her body and her spirit. I ask for your Blessings and your Mercy. In your Holy Name, I pray. Amen“

The mother of three has been open about her struggles throughout her career. Apple didn’t grow up with her father and publicly discovered the man she thought was her dad– was not. The Cali girl’s down-to-earth demeanor made her a fan-favorite on seasons five and six of Love & Hip Hop Hollywood.
Apple also starred in rapper Future’s 2016 video for the hit song “Wicked.” She was the only featured female dancer in the vid.
Although the prognosis doesn’t look good, the blog page “Try Me Not 2Day” posted an alleged update to Apple’s status on Friday evening. The post shared a video and series of blurred-out screenshots of an unidentified person writing that Apple is breathing on her own but had been placed in a coma. The source has yet to be confirmed.
“Update: According to family and friends, Apple is still alive and fighting despite false reports posted by some outlets. Currently, Watts is in a medically-induced coma due to her injuries. She is breathing on her own and is showing signs [of]movement. Apple is still in critical condition and is waiting to go into surgery.”
We hope Apple pulls through!
