Ashanti Is Now COVID-19 Free
Written by Site Hub on January 3, 2021
Ashanti says that she is “feeling grateful” on an instagram post she released, announcing that she is now COVID free.
“My parents and I got our negative results back right in time to start off the New Year healthy, happy & loved. Wishing y’all all an Amazing 202WON.”
The news broke after she had to cancel her Verzuz battle with Keyshia Cole due to her recent diagnosis.
It was believed that she had contracted the virus while traveling, as she had just returned from Africa, but she thinks otherwise:
To be very, very, very clear — yes I’ve been traveling. Yes I went to Nairobi; I had an amazing time. No, I did not get COVID from traveling. I did not get COVID from being in Africa or anything like that,”
Ashanti said during an Instagram Live session in December.
“Everyone that I went on the trip with has tested [negative]. They went from country to country; they went to Uganda so they have to continue to get tested. No one tested positive. I did not get it from traveling.”
“I actually got it from a family member when I came home,” she continued. “I came home and I hugged a family member who ended up being positive. I didn’t know he was positive; he didn’t know he was positive, so when he went to get tested, I was like, ‘Oh ****.’”
