“I’m good, no surgery needed, thank Jesus!” He continued, “I’m gonna start doing seatbelt commercials. So for everybody that wants to send me something, send me them seatbelt commercial ads.”
Omar explained in his caption that he was wearing a seatbelt and didn’t break his neck, he actually suffered Hangman’s fracture while catching some Z’s in the back of a car on the way to an airport.
