Jeremih has reportedly been released from hospital after contracting COVID-19.

In a statement shared with TMZ, the Chicago artist wrote, "First and foremost, I would like to thank God and the incredible team of doctors and nurses at Northwestern Memorial Hospital for saving my life. I will be forever grateful." 

He continued: "I would also like to thank my family and friends for all their prayers and well wishes. I'm overwhelmed with gratitude. A special thanks to Chance the Rapper, 50 Cent and Diddy for their love and support. I would like to thank all my fans and people around the world who prayed for me. I'm getting stronger everyday, and look forward to spending time with my sons."

In November, the Chicago artist was moved to intensive care after having been intubated and placed on a ventilator, prompting Chance, 50 Cent and many more to send messages of support.

Jeremih's family had previously told CNN that his severe case was an opportunity to "remind the world that COVID-19 is real and not to be taken lightly," and that "there's no shame in contracting COVID-19, and people that have it need to be responsible and considerate of others."
