Singer Just Sam, who rose to fame after winning “American Idol” in 2020, was hospitalized with an unknown illness.
The New York-based musician, whose real name is Samantha Diaz, took to her Instagram story to update fans on her health issues.
Revealing she was hospitalized on Wednesday, the 23-year-old, who won ABC’s third season of the hit singing competition, pleaded for help in a cryptic post but did not explain what brought her under attentive gaze of the doctors.
“100 pounds is crazy. I seriously need help,” she wrote alongside a picture of stairs. He later provided an update to worried fans, telling them he was feeling better.
“I’m grateful for everyone’s prayers. I’m doing so much better now,” she told her 148,000 Instagram followers.
Things seemed to level off on Wednesday when Sam revealed she was back home, saying: “Thanks to everyone who checked on me. I’m ALIVE and out of the hospital.”
But unfortunately, it wasn’t for long.

His health seemed to worsen when he returned to the hospital the next day.
“I need a better hospital hospital. I hate it here. tbh,” he said.
The Harlem-born singer won the first remote finale in “Idol” history — the long-running competition left the stage in 2020 due to the pandemic.
“My grandmother has said that she doesn’t believe that people like us can make their dreams come true,” he previously said on the show. “This is a test for her!”
“I kept pushing, I kept singing and look where it got me. I hope to inspire all the girls who believe that their dreams cannot come true. Anyone can do it.”
