The rapper said he had been following guidelines, staying inside and only going out (wearing gloves and a mask) to get food or take care of other necessities, but he still contracted the virus.
"As careful as I’ve been … my test came back positive,” Slim Thug said. “Y’all gotta take this stuff seriously. Sit home, self-quarantine, do not come outside for however long they’re saying. If you have symptoms, you need to go get checked out.”
Slim said he has been feeling much better.
