“Cuddo Mane @jeremih is showing progress, breathing on his own and has been given a lower dosage on his medication,” Taylor wrote in a caption to a photo of himself with Jeremih. “God is Amazing. Keep those prayers going up. God is Showing Up and Showing out!!” Meanwhile, Jeremih’s family issued a formal statement to CNN earlier today (November 18). According to his loved ones, the 33-year-old artist is currently in the intensive care unit and was breathing through a ventilator. It was an unbelievable turn of events that they called “rare for a young man his age without underlying conditions.”
They added that COVID-19 “viciously attacked his body” and said they were “grateful” to everyone who has continued to pray for him. “His family would like to remind the world that COVID-19 is real and not to be taken lightly,” the statement reads. “Also, It’s important for people infected to quarantine and let their families and friends know ASAP. There’s no shame in contracting COVID-19, and people that have it need to be responsible and considerate of others.”
