LOS ANGELES, CALIFORNIA – JANUARY 15: Martin Lawrence speaks onstage during the 75th Primetime Emmy Awards at Peacock Theater on January 15, 2024 in Los Angeles, California.

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.
