Wiz Khalifa tests positive for COVID-19

Wiz Khalifa came forth informing his fans that he has contracted coronavirus, adding that there are no symptoms for now but he should be avoided.

The rapper, 33, tweeted about his diagnosis but added that he’s still feeling healthy. “Okay loved ones….sooo…..Ya boy got covid,” he wrote. “No symptoms. Just stay away from me for a lil while,” he tweeted.

Khalifa added that, while he’s quarantining, he’ll be focusing his energy on creativity.

“While im in the house I’ll be givin y’all new content, planning raves, and readying this new project,” he tweeted.

Experts say there is a slim chance of vaccinated people becoming infected compared to those who have not received the shots. But it is not clear if Khalifa has been vaccinated against COVID-19. 

The recording artist is not the only celebrity who has tested positive for the virus in recent days. Lea Seydoux was forced to drop out of her appearance at Cannes Film Festival, where she has four films showing.

It was also reported this week that Ed Sheeran had been forced to self-isolate after coming into contact with a COVID case.
