Detailing his experience, the singer recalled being in ICU since his condition was pretty serious. Jeremih said that he had multisystem inflammatory syndrome (MIS) and remembered “seeing a white light” on at least one occasion:
“What I can say is, man… [it’s] definitely is real. I didn’t take it for granted, and truth be told, this was kinda like… I’m a living, walking testimony.” He went on to say, “I was really down bad for the last month and a half while I was in there. I don’t even remember the day I went in. That’s how messed up I was. […] I had the tube down my throat for about a week and a half. I was really, like, in a dream and I ain’t gonna lie, I woke up about two times and all I remember is just seeing a white light. […] What I ended up having — and I don’t mind sharing it because now, you know, I’m here — it was called a [multisystem] inflammatory syndrome, MIS, which is a rare case of, you know, cause and effect of COVID. My whole insides, all my organs, became inflamed.“
Jeremih, 33, who left the hospital last week, also stressed the seriousness of COVID-19 and how it shouldn’t be ignored. During his interview he also shared how his tough battle motivated him to go harder:
“Whatever I’ve done before now I’m going to do it to the 10th power because it’s a reason why I’m still here,” he said before joking, “I got my voice again, learned how to walk again, now I gotta learn how to run and bust a move like [Chris Brown].”
