RECOVERING FROM HIS CRASH
Four years prior to the show, it seemed impossible for the 49-year-old to think of performing, speaking, or walking ever again. Back in June 2014, he suffered a traumatic brain injury from a multi-vehicle car crash that left him in a coma for eight days.
Once he got out of a coma, he still had to go months of physical rehabilitation and cognitive therapy for him to recover fully. That said, it wasn't exactly easy for him to get right back to work and it took a lot of dedication from his part.
COMEBACK TO THE INDUSTRY
"The Last OG" is a comedy created by Jordan Peele, where Morgan stars as Tray, a Brooklyn drug dealer who is busted for the act in 2002. After his time in prison, he returns to the outside world only to find out that his neighborhood isn't the same as before.
Nowadays, he is quarantined at home with his wife and daughter, often sharing updates with his fans on social media about what they have been up to.
ENJOYING LIFE WITH FAMILY
After having to go through the worst after the accident, Morgan was given a settlement from the accident which he now uses to live life comfortably with his wife and daughter. Since being given the chance to entertain audiences again, he hasn't looked back and is enjoying life as it comes.
