American R&B singer Jeremih has been released from hospital after battling COVID-19 for a few weeks.

Last month,

it was reported that the entertainer was in the intensive care unit of a US medical

facility after being diagnosed with coronavirus on November 5.

Luckily, he

was discharged from the Northwestern Memorial Hospital in Chicago on Friday and

was able to walk out of the facility with his mother.

Following his

release, Jeremih issued a statement in which he thanked the people who offered

support while he was hospitalised.

“First

and foremost, I would like to thank God and the incredible team of doctors and

nurses at Northwestern Hospital for saving my life. I will be forever grateful.

I would also like to thank my family and friends for all their prayers and well

wishes. I’m overwhelmed with gratitude,” he said.

“A special

thanks to Chance The Rapper, 50 cents [sic], and Diddy for their love and

support. I’m getting stronger everyday, and look forward to spending time with

my sons. I would also like to thank all my fans, and people all over the world

who have prayed for me.”
