Jeremih, 33, has been struggling with Coronavirus since November 19th, when he was hospitalized in critical condition.
The rapper, formally known as Jeremy Phillip Felton, was battling the disease from a Chicago hospital and was forced to be put on a breathing ventilator and transferred to the ICU to stabilize his condition.
The singer’s agent told Deadline that his condition was very uncommon and detrimental, saying: “The Covid-19 condition he’s experiencing is rare for a young man his age without underlying conditions.
“There’s no shame in contracting Covid-19, and people that have it need to be responsible and considerate of others.
“Everyone diagnosed with Covid-19 is affected differently. Unfortunately for Jeremih, Covid-19 viciously attacked his body.“
Many friends and celebrities shared their support via Twitter during the process, fellow rapper 50 Cent tweeting: “Pray for my boy Jeremih he’s not doing good this covid s**t is real.”
Chance first showed his support by saying: “Please if you can take a second to pray for my friend Jeremih, he is like a brother to me and he’s ill right now. I believe in the healing power of Jesus so if you can for me please please say a prayer over him.”
Wendy Williams also showed love for her past show guest, saying: “So cute. So talented. Reportedly, though, he’s battling corona in a bad way. He’s in the ICU on a ventilator.
“Shout out to Jeremih’s family and his friends. And Jeremih, we’re with you. Everybody, if we learn one thing was this, we learn to mask up.”
Jeremih was finally transferred out of the ICU on November 21st and has been making a slow recovery since.
He is finally out of the hospital and able to recuperate at home with family.
The artist’s loved ones have thanked fans and celebrity friends for all of their support and good vibes.
