Singer/rapper Jeremih, who has been battling COVID-19 in Chicago, is still fighting the virus in the ICU, according to his reps. He's in critical condition, but does have one thing going in his favor.

“J was just pulled off the ventilator,” his agent reported to Variety on Thursday, November 19. “He’s still in ICU in critical condition. Please keep him in your prayers.”

The singer's family made a statement as well, just a day earlier, telling CNN they "would like to remind the world that COVID-19 is real and not to be taken lightly. 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.”
