A spokesman for Chicago R&B artist Jeremih made a statement today saying he will be hospitalized and battling a severe case of COVID-19.
The 33-year-old musician, real name Jeremy Felton, is ventilated in an intensive care unit, the statement said.
“The COVID-19 illness he is experiencing is rare for a young man his age with no underlying conditions,” the representative said. “There is no shame in getting COVID-19 and people who have it must be responsible and considerate of others. Everyone diagnosed with COVID-19 is affected differently. Unfortunately for Jeremih, COVID-19 has viciously attacked his body. “
The singer / songwriter / rapper / producer signed with Def Jam Recordings in 2009. His birthday sex debut single rose to number 4 on the Billboard Hot 100. The subsequent self-titled album rose to number 5 on the Billboard 200 album chart. He went on to have two other top ten hits with Down on Me and Don’t Tell ‘Em.
The news of his hospitalization brought a lot of support.
