Styles took to Twitter and wrote "I almost died in January . And I never get the flu and if I do it’s a day or two."
"In January I was down for a week and lost about 8 pounds !! I had the rona !! It had to be the Rona !!!!" Styles said.
In Meek Mill's case, his symptoms were not as severe, however it does not mean that he did not have the coronavirus.
