Jeremih Details Near-Deadly
Battle With COVID-19.
On Tuesday, Jeremih gave a joint interview
with Chance the Rapper for ‘Sway’s Universe.’ .
During the interview, the 33-year-old singer/rapper
opened up about his recent battle with COVID-19.
After testing positive for the virus in November,
things quickly took a turn for the worse and Jeremih
was admitted to Chicago’s Northwestern Hospital. .
I was really down bad for the last
month and a half that I was in there …
I don’t even remember the day I went
in there that’s how messed up I was, Jeremih, via 'Vibe'.
He ended up developing “multiple inflammatory
syndrome,” a rare effect of COVID-19.
All my organs became inflamed. My
heart started beating irregularly, my kidneys
went out, my liver started to go bad, Jeremih, via 'Vibe'.
He eventually had to be put on a ventilator
in the ICU for a week and a half, during which
all he remembers is “seeing a white light.” .
After being discharged from the ICU, Jeremih
said he had to learn how to walk and eat again. .
Nevertheless, he views his COVID-19
scare as a “blessing” that put his
non-stop lifestyle into perspective. .
It’s been one long party, I ain’t gon’ lie
to you. A lot of things now I don’t take
for granted. Sometimes you have to have
a setback for the big payback, Jeremih, via 'Vibe'
