In a statement shared earlier in the week (November 19), they said what the 33-year-old was “rare for a young man his age without underlying conditions”.

“A great team of doctors and nurses is helping him pull through,” they said at the time. “He’s not out of the woods yet, but progress is being made. The family and friends are praying that he starts breathing on his own soon, and makes a full recovery.”

Chance The Rapper, Big Sean and Toni Braxton were among the stars who shared their support for Jeremih after his condition was reported.
