His 2020 Health Issue & Recovery
While details about Jeremih’s current health issue were not disclosed, the singer has faced serious medical challenges in the past.
In 2020, Jeremih was hospitalized after being diagnosed with multisystem inflammatory syndrome (MIS), a rare condition that causes inflammation in multiple organs. The illness left him in intensive care at Chicago’s Northwestern Memorial Hospital for weeks, during which time family members were initially unable to visit him.
Speaking about his recovery in a 2022 interview with People, Jeremih described the physical toll the illness took on his body.
“Not only did I lose a lot of weight, but I really couldn’t walk,” he said. “I had to do physical therapy to even go to the bathroom.”
He added that everyday tasks became major challenges after leaving the hospital, including something as simple as walking up a flight of stairs.
Despite the setback, Jeremih has continued working on new music. In December, he teamed up with fellow Chicago artist Chance the Rapper to release the joint EP Secret Santa.
Meanwhile, the Boys 4 Life Tour is still scheduled to kick off Saturday (March 7) at the Spectrum Center in Charlotte, North Carolina.
Fans are now wishing Jeremih a smooth recovery as he steps away from the tour to focus on his health. Us, too.
