Jeremih Throws First Pitch At Chicago White Sox Game After Having COVID-19

The Chicago White Sox invited Jeremih last Friday (August 27) to throw the ceremonial first pitch, and unlike his close friend 50 Cent's sad display of an arm, he got the ball down the strike zone. The multi-platinum R&B singer and songwriter took over the mound at Guaranteed Rate Field to overwhelming cheers and applause, which fueled the White Sox to capture the win. The White Sox beat their crosstown rival Chicago Cubs in a thrilling comeback win, 17-13. The crowd’s warm welcome was a touching moment for Jeremih, who was hospitalized and even placed on a ventilator in intensive care thanks to COVID-19. Jeremih went into detail about his recent battle with coronavirus at Chicago’s Northwestern Memorial Hospital during a visit Sway’s Universe last year. 

What I can say is it definitely is real,” he began. “I didn’t take it for granted, and truth be told, I’m a living walking testimony to let y’all know. Like man, I was really down bad for the last month and a half while I was in there. I don’t even remember the day I went in, that’s how messed up it was in that whole time in there.

He added, “I had a tube down my throat for about a week and a half. I was really like in a dream, and I ain’t gon’ lie I woke up about two times, and all I remember seeing is a white light those two times that I was in there.
