Singapore — Rapper Yung Raja took to social media on Wednesday (Oct 6) to let the public know his parents have contracted Covid.
“Both my parents have tested COVID positive. I sincerely apologise to all that have been in contact with me recently. Please get yourselves tested and stay safe. Much love,” he wrote, posting a screenshot on Instagram on Oct 6 from a Notes app.
The 26-year-old rapper, whose real name is Rajid Ahamed, has yet to add any other information concerning his or his parent’s health status, but friends from the industry have been quick to sympathise and express well-wishes.
There was also a similar outpouring of love from friends and fans.
Yung Raja made the news a few months ago after a clip from his song, “Mami,” was featured on The Tonight Show.
The rapper was thrilled at the shoutout on the popular US show, even though the segment where the song was featured on the show’s “Do Not Play” segment, where host Jimmy Fallon reassures the audience that every song is “100 per cent real.”
The last song Mr Fallon featured was a sample from “Mami.” The host poked some mild fun at the rapper’s album cover, where the fully-clothed artist sits in a bathtub, smiling.
Yung Raja, however, was delighted that his song was featured on The Tonight Show.
“I think @jimmyfallon isn’t a big fan of mami BUT HELLO WE MADE IT TO THE TONIGHT SHOW
(@questlove do be vibin tho 🕺🏽),” he wrote in a viral Instagram post.
On Facebook, he called the whole situation “fking insane,” and was all grateful. “Thank u The Tonight Show starring Jimmy Fallon for playing #Mami,” he wrote. /TISG
