JEREMIH told fans “I’m still here” as he shared his first Instagram post following his terrifying battle with Covid.
The rapper, 33, was in a “critical condition” at a Chicago hospital for several weeks after getting struck down with the virus.
Jeremih had been struggling with Covid since November 19 and was placed on a breathing ventilator in the ICU at one point.
The artist finally left the hospital last week and gave fans an update on his condition on Wednesday.
Jeremih shared a selfie from his hospital bed with a plaster on his cheek, as well as a photo of him at the barbers.
“THANK GOD I’M STILL HERE, THANK YA’LL FOR THE [prayers emoji] UP #imbackkkk,” he captioned the shots.
Over the weekend, Jeremih thanked the doctors and nurses who cared for him, saying he will be “forever grateful”.
“First and foremost, I would like to thank God and the incredible team of doctors and nurses at Northwestern Memorial Hospital for saving my life. I will be forever grateful,” the singer said in a statement.
“I would also like to thank my family and friends for all their prayers and well wishes. I’m overwhelmed with gratitude.”
“A special thanks to Chance The Rapper, 50 Cent and Diddy for their love and support,” he added.
“I would also like to thank all my fans and people around the world who prayed for me. I’m getting stronger everyday, and look forward to spending time with my sons.”
Chance, 27, celebrated the positive news on social media a day earlier.
He tweeted: “I AM FILLED WITH PRAISE RIGHT NOW I JUST HEARD MY BROTHER JEREMIH’S VOICE FOR THE FIRST TIME IN ALMOST A MONTH.
“HE WILL BE OUT THE HOSPITAL TOMORROW WE GIVE ALL GLORY TO THE FATHER IN JESUS NAME.”
Chance also took to his Instagram to announce that his 2016 collaboration with Jeremih, Are U Live, will be hitting all platforms.
Jeremih, formally known as Jeremy Phillip Felton, received support from his celebrity pals while in hospital.
Rapper 50 Cent tweeted: “Pray for my boy Jeremih he’s not doing good this covid s**t is real.”
The music community weren’t the only ones worried about the Def Jam Recordings star, as Wendy Williams was almost brought to tears about the state of her friend.
Wendy offered her “best wishes” to Jeremih’s recovery while recounting her dear memories of having the singer on her show.
The talk show host shared with her audience: “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.”
