"I've taken many tests as I'm protesting, food drives, of course I have a very young son at home, so I get tested periodically. Unfortunately, this time it came back positive," the singer told fans in an Instagram video on Monday, October 5. "7.5 million Americans have contracted COVID. One out of a thousand Black people have died from it. I will be taking this seriously."

The 35-year-old said he "will be self-quarantining" at his home until he receives a negative test. He also urged anyone who comes in contact with the novel virus to take it seriously while telling his 12.2M followers: "Don’t be like the President."
