Slim Thug knows the dangers of COVID-19 after testing positive for the coronavirus in March. Following his firsthand experience, the Boss Hogg Outlaw has lended a helping hand to Houston’s METRO bus drivers and police department as they face the pandemic.
ABC affiliate KTRK-TV reports Slim donated 1,000 bottles of hand sanitizer to METRO drivers and police on Tuesday (April 7). His relief team Smoke Shield and fellow rapper Baby Bash plan to donate another 1,000 bottles by April 15.
“I want our police officers and bus drivers to know that we appreciate their service during this tough time,” Slim said. “They have always been a huge part of keeping Houston going.”

Slim announced he tested positive for the coronavirus on March 24. Following his diagnosis, he urged his Instagram followers to follow stay-at-home orders and practice social distancing.
“Y’all gotta take this stuff serious,” he said in an IG video. “Sit home, self-quarantine, do not come outside for however long they saying. If you have symptoms, you need to get checked out.”

Why didn’t y’all mention how he was out in the streets during his quarantine. Joking or not that would have been a good point to put in the story. Practice what u preach…. or don’t.
Sure dummy. Have you ever heard of “essential services?” Dude was bettering people who are also providing essential services. Let me guess, your dry snitching ass has a problem with this, then thinks it’s cool Jay-Z and Meek Mil donates all of those masks to prisoners? Please royally for fuck yourself. Someone did something positive and sensitive and you’re shitting on them. This must be one of those black on black things no one can make sense of. Jealousy or some shit. THANKS THUGGER! We appreciate you bruh!!
Yeah, it didn’t mention once that he was on the streets because he wasn’t. Dude already tested positive and went thru it. He is immune. He did some uplifting shit and there you go being a broke ass, unappreciative ass ho! You outta pocket bitch! Is that your ugly ass Gremlin in the profile pic? Nappy headed ho!
He was out driving around the streets threatening to give ppl the virus if they didn’t stay home. This was only like 1 week after he tested positive. ABC news dragged him for it, I suspect that’s the only reason he is donating anything,
that an awesome gesture
