Andrew Watt, who produced Cardi B’s “Thru Your Phone” and multiple Post Malone songs, has tested positive for coronavirus. The Grammy-winning producer revealed he contracted COVID-19 in an Instagram post on Tuesday (March 17).
“Yesterday I was given the results that I am positive for COVID-19,” Watt wrote. “I wanted to tell you all about my journey getting here in an effort to bring awareness to the severity of what’s happening in the world.”
He explained, “12 days ago, early morning of March 6th, I started feeling like I was hit by a bus. I couldn’t move out of my bed for days and started to run a fever. I was seen by a doctor at my house who told me I am positive for the regular flu and there’s no way I could have Covid-19 as I haven’t left the country and all I do is go to the studio and go straight home. I told all my friends I had been working with and anyone close to me that I’m laid out with the flu and quarantined myself…none of them even had a sniffle …”
Watt noted his symptoms didn’t improve, which led to him seeking out testing for the coronavirus. After going through a few obstacles to get the test, he finally learned he had COVID-19.
“I was put on tamiflu and constant Tylenol to fight the fever… but the chills, sweats , and fevers did not stop,” he wrote. “I started to become delusional and then began the dry cough….I immediately rushed to the emergency room and begged to be tested for COVID-19 as this ‘flu’ was not subsiding. I was turned down for the test because of federal regulations. I begged and pleaded to be evaluated and finally was given a chest x ray…the results of which were Viral Pneumonia…but still…No Test.”
He continued, “A private doctor was finally able to test me himself and yesterday afternoon it came back Positive for COVID-19…”

Watt said his condition has improved a bit, but he admits he’s not out of the woods yet.
“Currently…My fevers have gotten much much better and I have begun to have somewhat of an appetite again but it is very hard for me to breathe as a result of this pneumonia,” he wrote. “I am laid out in bed chugging gatorade and using an oxygen machine to give my lungs as much relief as possible.”
He closed out his post by declaring he’d make a full recovery and asking his followers to practice social distancing.
“I can’t stress this enough…This is not a joke,” he emphasized. “Stay inside, stay sanitized. Please stop everything and take care of yourselves And the people you love around you, until we are all through this.”

Are we ever gonna see the end of this epidemic? What measures are being taken to eliminate CO-VID 19 tho? Shit is becoming scary.
It will run its course. Mortality rate won’t be much higher than Swine Flu. Relax, being scared will only hurt your immune system. If you are under age 55, you have a 99% chance of surviving IF infected, and you do not have a very high chance of catching it. Do not buy into the media fear mongering. The cruise ship with 4,000 people and 750 infected had just 7 deaths in two weeks, and almost all cruise attendees are senior citizens. Meaning, the fatality rate is very very low.
Yeah…. he’s dying of Coronavirus and he wrote that whole paragraph in detail. F out of here. This is propaganda. I don’t know anyone who knows anybody with this fake ass virus.
It’s not a fake virus, but I have no doubts that celebrities are being recruited to spread panic. Why would sooo many celebrities test positive, and first thing go straight to social media to tell the world? Don’t you think if you were seriously ill, you would keep it between you and your family, not tell the whole world, before you have even begun to recover in anyway?
Celebrities would go straight to social media because that’s what they do, it’s not exactly unusual behavior.
Everything is not a conspiracy.
The issue is that it is more infectious than regular flu. If it spreads rapidly then the health systems will not be able to cope which will lead to hundreds of thousands more deaths. Let’s hope we can all do our bit to slow the spread.
wall e meet idiocracy drink your gatorade, take your tylenol, tamiflu, & dont forget your ovaltine
im not saying its not serious but the panic is much worse millions have it & are spreading it & will continue to do so the economic damage to peoples lives will do more damage then this bug which is a strong flu with a slightly higher death rate as millions who will never be tested will get it & recover never even knowing they have it
stop eating a s s & start washing your hands ya filthly animals
Glad he is recovering and sad people are having to fight for their lives literally just to be taken serious and get medical updates in order to get help. Keep yourselves and family safe.
Celebrities and such are being used to fear monger for the rest of us. The mortality rate for Corona virus is 3% and under, with 95% of that 3% being above age 55. Meaning, of those infected, 97%+ are above age 55, and over 75% already had prior health complications. Meaning, sure, you can get sick as hell… Just like I was with swine flu a few years back. I didn’t die. I was very very ill. I recovered. I live. I do want the old people to stay safe though!
all these celebs catchin this virus like herpes. why do i feel like there in on the fear mongering plan??
I still don’t understand all the testing? Why does it matter what you are sick with? Get sick, isolate, get better. Just like when I had the seasonal flu earlier this year.
And no Flat Earther’s, this isnt a conspiracy.
The young and the old die that’s why it’s a big deal and more importantly the fact that china has apparently beat the covid 19 and places such as russia have.literally 1 case. All at the same time china lost a big trade deals and its economy only was hit 1.4percent or so hit over here north America is 10 percent and worsening dont be surprised if the economy completely crashes and you can blame china for that
World governments were warned by China two months ago to start locking down, and start preparing. It’s not China’s fault they got ignored and it’s not their fault your country and others spend 100x more tax money on war and weapons than on building health care institutions.
It’s easy to place blame but the fact is pandemics like these have been getting warned about for decades and governments have completely dismissed scientists over and over again.
China needs to regulate there food actually china has piss poor animal conditions which is how this happened to begin with china has also not been sending in any new viruses into the states so they can make vaccines and ignoring the request for them aswell china has the strongest economy in the world and they want to keep it that way which is all this is about.
And??? nothing gonna happen to him. Hes gonna go home, lay in bed for a week and he will be fine
You’re not supposed to go running to the ER to get tested, you’re supposed to call your general practioner. Should’ve went to your “private doctor” in the first palce you fucking bozo.
If you start having chest pains you’re always supposed to go directly to a hospital. All a local practitioner will do is send you to the hospital for a chest X-ray.
Nah man you are not suppose to go to e.r for a flu or chest pains related to flu doctors say it them selves call that shit in and you get tested at home simple stuff
If you literally smoke a whole tree in a week dont be surprised you will get pneumonia lmaop
Click bait. I thought Cardi had it.
I understand it’s airborne and easy to catch, but I think celebrities are working purposely to instill panic and fear. It’s like “oh no, a famous celebrity can get it, SO CAN I!”. Because people like to loo Kat celebrities like they are untouchable. Why don’t these celebrities ever go to social media to tell you when they have the flu? They’ve all had it at least once… They tell you this, because there is an agenda.
I pray every night on my hands and knees that Drake or his Mom catches corona. I pray he had asthma or a weak immune system all wont survive. Corona virus is now sending people in their 20-30 to ICU and the virus still has a chance to mutate into a deadlier strain that will kill the youth. Pray with me everyone. This is what the world needs. A thorough purge. Lets see champagnepapi on a ventilator. Dear Universe, please do this for humanity.
