“Check this out. No games being played.

“As careful as I’ve been self-quarantining, staying home, I might’ve went got something to eat…nothing crazy…stayed in my truck, had [a] mask, gloves, everything on, and my test came back positive.”
He added, “Y’all gotta take this stuff serious. Sit home. Self-quarantine. Do not come outside for however long they saying. If you have symptoms, you need to go get checked out.”
As HipHopWired pointed out, he’s the latest celeb to come forward with their COVID-19 results and the only rapper to test positive. Drake self-isolated after coming in contact with Kevin Durant but Drake’s COVID-19 test was negative.
We’re sending best wishes to Slim Thug.
