Kid Capri Calls For Caution

Kid Capri pleaded with his followers: “Take care of yourselves. F### the parties, f### hanging out.” He continued, “If you ain’t got to be somewhere, then don’t go. Just relax, cos this s### is no joke.” 

A lot of people I know are dying,” he said and referred to Jessie D of Force MD’s, who died on Tuesday (Jan. 4), though his cause of death is unconfirmed. “If you ain’t healthy,” he said, “it will do you in. So try to stay in.” 

Kid Capri then mentioned DJ Kay Slay, who was recently hospitalized due to COVID-19 complications saying he had recently spoken to him. “I called Kay Slay in the hospital and he said he almost checked out. I think he getting better though,” he said. However, when a live viewer shared the news Kay Slay was on a ventilator Kid Capri grew increasingly upset, at one point turning from the camera.  

He then ended the live to try and find out news of Kay Slay’s condition. Delivering a final warning he said, “Remember, stay out the way.”
