The rapper is also using his platform to highlight COVID symptoms and urges fans to get tested if they experience any of the symptoms.
As soon as you feel that cough coming on, that headache … weakness in your muscles. Chills at night. Trust me. GO TEST ASAP. There’s places where they do the swab at the back of your throat, not that insane up your nose one. Do it so you can know what you dealing with.

Prayers and well-wishes are pouring in for the rapper. He dispelled fears of a harsh reaction to the virus tweeting that he’d be in great shape again by the 16th.
But it’s all good. Doctor says by the 16th I’ll be ready to go out into the world again … well apparently.
