“Bro…… my 97 year old grandma….. is in the hospital alone… with Covid…… that she got……. FROM HER F*CKIN NURSE!!!! Man [facepalm emoji] Wtf is wrong with ppl man?! Pls yall. Just explain it to me! Just help us end this sh*t pls ppl.”
A fan replied to T-Pain’s initial tweet with speculation that the nurse was probably asymptomatic to which T-Pain responded saying,
