The Kid LAROI Confirmed COVID Positive?
The teenage singer revealed shocking news regarding his COVID situation in the same Instagram post, which now re-edited. The post read that he had not been home because of COVID adding, "which I currently have rn and have been locked in a room for the past 7 days."
He quickly deleted that line in his IG caption. Still, if the news was accurate, it means he could have performed at Lollapalooza with Miley Cyrus while infected -- or he got contracted with it at the festival.
According to TMZ, during a live stream, LAROI said that he and her girlfriend, Katarina Deme, were in quarantine together as the two of them got infected. Later on, he appeared to get a live update that he was COVID-free.
This statement had a lot of fans confused.
