COVID-19 doesn’t discriminate. From Prince Charles and actor Tom Hanks to singer-songwriter John Prine and Geto Boys legend Scarface, celebrities left and right are revealing their positive test results.
Now, it looks like DJ Jazzy Jeff has potentially contracted the virus. On Monday morning (March 30), the celebrated turntablist revealed he’s battling pneumonia and hinted he was also fighting the coronavirus.
“Pls say a prayer for all the sick,” he wrote in his Instagram Stories. “It’s a lot more than you know!! I’m recovering from pneumonia in both my lungs…I lost my sense of smell and taste which is a main sign of the virus. I would NOT be here if not for my guardian angel for a wife!”
Jazzy Jeff added, “Please take this serious…it does not care who you are…what you do or what your plans are. Stay safe.”
While Jazzy Jeff, 55, didn’t explicitly confirm he had the virus, his posts indicate he at least believes he has it. The globetrotting DJ could’ve contracted it anywhere. According to the latest report from the CDC, there are currently 760,337 cases worldwide and 36,862 deaths.

The United States now has more cases than any other country in the world. However, it’s important to note the virus does have an 81 percent recovery rate. The elderly and people with pre-existing health conditions are more susceptible to the virus.
Jazzy Jeff has evidently been sick for weeks. His latest tweet, posted on March 7, indicated he was ill.
“I’ll be happy when I’m home and I can cough freely,” he wrote. “LOL.”

You have to be the most insensitive human on this earth. God will get you, you little narrow-minded speck of human dong. Go pray and repent for yourself because you serve no real purpose to mankind but sowing hate and discord amongst brethens. Whatever, his reasons for lying and he has this deadly viruse, created by man to destroy man. That is something he has to live with. But you, you what made America evil, hateful, ignorant, and the walking dead, just lile your forefathers. Leave this earth you are no more worthy to what amongst God’s people. Liar
Jizzy Jeff, that you mayn?
You have to be the most insensitive human on earth. The hate you just uttered from your narrow-minded mouth, just goes to show, how useless people are to God’s purpose. God will get you, cause all you do is sow discord and hate amongst brethens. You and your forefathers have made America evil, dark, disastrous, shameful, and a by word in the eyes of God. All will feel God’s wrath. Repent and pray for your dark, nasty, evil soul.
