American singer, Jeremih, On Ventilator In ICU After Contracting COVID-19

Popular American singer, Jeremy Phillip Felton known professionally as Jeremih, is currently on a breathing ventilator at the Intensive Care Unit of the hospital he is being treated in Chicago.

TMZ.com reports that his condition has recently gotten worse and the prognosis is bleak. It is unclear how long he has been admitted in the hospital or how long he has had the virus but he is not doing well.

The news that he was seriously ill started making rounds online on Saturday with rappers like 50 Cent, Chance The Rapper, producer Hitmaka and others asking for prayers on Jeremih’s behalf, but not necessarily saying what exactly was wrong with him at first.

However, 50 Cent was the only one who gave a bit more insight, claiming it was COVID-related while also saying Jeremih was hospitalized in his native city of Chicago.

50 Cent wrote, “Pray for my boy, Jeremih, he’s not doing good this covid s*** is real.” He added, “He is in ICU in Chicago.”

Chance The Rapper also spoke on the seriousness of the situation. He wrote, “Please if you can take a second to pray for my friend, Jeremih, he is like a brother to me and he is ill right now. I believe in the healing power of Jesus so if you can for me please please say a prayer over him.”
