No one is safe from Coronavirus and it appears that no matter what you do to prevent it, there’s a good chance you will contract the virus. Earlier today, Slim Thug announced that he tested positive for COVID-19 on Instagram, despite practicing social distancing. “I got tested for Coronavirus yesterday and it came back positive. As careful as I’ve been, self-quarantine and staying home, I might’ve went to get something to eat or something or did some stuff like that,” he explained. “Simple stuff like that. Nothing crazy. Stayed in my truck. Had masks, gloves, everything on and my test came back positive.”

Though he admitted that he’s feeling fine, despite having a fever the other day, he made it clear that his situation should be a wake-up call to everyone who isn’t taking Coronavirus seriously. He urged his followers to listen to health officials and take care of themselves to slow down the spread of the virus. He also said that if anyone is feeling symptoms, it’s incredibly important to try and get tested as soon as possible.

There have been a few celebrities who’ve tested positive for Coronavirus but Thugga appears to be the first prominent rapper to contract the virus. 

Please continue to practice social distancing and wash your hands. Watch Slim Thug’s public service announcement below.

Eddie Murphy is back and fans can rejoice. The beloved comedian made his return with last year’s Dolemite Is My Name and while the 58-year-old attended a number of interviews in light of his applauded performance, he made it clear that he’s working on his standup return since inking a deal with Netflix for a special. “I’m gonna start kinda working [it] out in the beginning of the year and then when it’s ready, you know, I’ll try to give myself eight or nine months to get it ready,” Eddie previously told Ellen DeGeneres.

Sources tell Page Six that Eddie’s words on how he’s going to test out his chops on small audiences and venues are very much true since the actor has apparently been sneaking into comedy clubs in New York to gauge the audience’s reactions to his jokes. We can’t confirm which clubs exactly Eddie has hit up and what kind of content he’s playing with but he recently called his past homophobic jokes “cringey.”

“Some of it. Some of it, I cringe when I watch. I’m like, oh my God, I can’t believe I said that!” he said when reflecting back on his 1983 Delirious days.
