Martin Lawrence is one of TV/film’s greatest comedic talents, so when he’s a little “off” fans start to worry. That’s exactly what happened on Monday night as Lawrence reunited with his Martin co-stars at the Emmy Awards. Lawrence’s timing and speech pattern seemed a tad bit off, sparking a wave of confusion on the social media platform X (formerly known as Twitter).
Lawrence successfully completed his segment with the Martin cast (Tisha Campbell, Tichina Arnold, and Carl Anthony Payne II) and Anthony Anderson, presenting The Bear actor Jeremy Allen White with the award for Outstanding Lead Actor in a Comedy Series. He sent out a brief X post afterward but did not acknowledge Emmy viewers’ concerns.

Martin Lawrence’s 1999 Health Scare
The only major health incident that Lawrence has disclosed to the public was a 1999 medical scare. In August of that year, Lawrence collapsed from either heat exhaustion or heat stroke while jogging, according to outlets including The Los Angeles Times and Entertainment Weekly. He entered a three-day coma but recovered. Lawrence was suffering kidney issues in the wake of that incident, but it’s unclear if those problems continue to this day.
