They say hindsight is 20/20 and Meek isn’t the only one having the realization that they may have fought off COVID-19 well before it became a global pandemic.
Sunday, fellow rapper Styles P shared his suspicions that he too had contacted “the Rona” as Black Twitter calls it. His bout was back January and was so serious that he believed himself to be on the brink of death.
“I never get the flu and if I do it’s a day or two, he explained. “I was down for a week and lost about 8 pounds !! I had the rona !! It had to be the Rona !!!!I did mad black seed oil and went on a juice / tea diet and rested ! Go for it !!”

And spread the word.”
