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.” .

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'
