We are sad to report that New York rapper and ‘XXL Freshman Class’ alum, Fred The Godson, has reportedly passed away following his battle with COVID-19.
The 35-year-old Bronx native revealed on April 6th via his Instagram page that he was hospitalized for the virus.
“I’m here wit this (Covid-19) s**t! Please keep me in y’all prayers!!!! #godisgreat,” the post read. That was the most recent post on his page.
The Source reported Wednesday Fred The Godson had seen some improvement in his battle, according to his publicist.
He was still in intensive care, but his publicist said Fred’s fever went down after peaking at 105 degrees. His publicist said Fred dropping his fever was “big” in his recovery process.
Fred’s heart and vitals also showed positive signs in addition to the reduced fever, but Fred’s kidney function was not working as of Wednesday, according to his publicist.
Fred The Godson was at higher vulnerability for COVID-19 because he had asthma, according to The Source. Prior to being diagnosed with COVID-19, Fred would often post photos on Instagram using the breathing treatment machine to treat asthma.
Close friends including Jaquae and French Montana confirmed Fred’s passing Thursday morning.
Our thoughts and prayers are with his family at this time.
