The Florida rhymer shared the grim news on Saturday (June 27). In a video clip posted to Twitter, she can be seen getting a mobile COVID-19 test. She captioned the short video, “Ima just go back inside .”

“I can taste stuff at the back of my throat but not on my tongue,” she added. “All day I been like ‘y’all don’t smell that bleach’…. when in reality no one does and I can’t smell anything…Luckily we broke my fever under 100 but it was 101.3…Mind you…the nigga who did my test said ‘oh u sick fa sho..u don’t need a test.’”

She later spelled out her symptoms for an inquisitive Twitter follower. “Fever 101.3, Body aches, Chills, No taste, Can’t smell, Sore throat, Cough,” she posted.

The Stimulus Package rapper recently made the headlines for a tasteless joke about the killing of George Floyd, a Black man murdered by police officers in Minneapolis, Minn. She has since offered a heartfelt apology.

Jetz joins a growing list of rappers who have tested positive for the virus including YNW Melly, Slim Thug, Scarface and more.

The result is a song that teeters between heady curiosity and soulful expression. It’s not out to swamp us with complexity, but to suggest a room in which mind and emotion can cohabitate thoughtfully. “Scientist Mind (Living My Life)” serves as a signal of Phlo-osophy’s approach as an enlightening artist who writes not only with heart, but with mind and who welcomes the listener on its journey of self-discovery.
