I DID NOT GET CORONAVIRUS IN KENYA SAYS ASHANTI

Days after postponing her much anticipated Verzuz with Keyshia Cole, Ashanti has revealed she caught coronavirus after hugging a family member and from her trip to Nairobi, Kenya.

The musician jetted out of Kenya two days before her show, detailing how she caught the virus, Ashanti explained, “To be very, very, very clear: Yes, I’ve been travelling, yes I went to Nairobi, I had an amazing time. No, I did not get covid from travelling, no I did not get covid from being in Africa.

Everyone that I went on a 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 travelling.

I actually got it from a family member when I came home. 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, f**k.”

While in the country, the American musician stayed at Hemingways Hotel in Karen and she visited the Nairobi National Park and Giraffe Manor.
