Rapper Fred the Godson has died at the age of 35 after battling coronavirus in hospital. The star, best known for tracks including Toast To That and Doves Fly has died just a couple of weeks after confirming he was ill with Covid-19, according to TMZ.
Fred previously revealed he was in hospital on oxygen in an Instagram post earlier this month. Holding out his fist in the selfie as he was hooked up to the machine, Fred said: ‘I’m in here with this Covid-19 s**t!
Please keep me in y’all prayers!!! #GodIsGreat’. The star had previously urged others to stay indoors and be safe, posting pictures of him wearing a facemask as he tried to avoid catching the virus, and asking for recommendations on music to listen to while in quarantine.
