»COMPLETE COVERAGE: CORONAVIRUS

Complex reported the 35-year-old rapper, who collaborated with Diddy, Meek Mill and Pusha-T among others, shared in an April 6 tweet that he was in the hospital and placed on a ventilator.

His wife, LeeAnn Jemmott, then told News 12 Brooklyn that he wasn't doing well initially.

“It was just like -- he’s gone and he’s gonna die, that’s it. I don’t even know how I felt, I just felt like I was going to die,” Jemmott told the news station April 8.

Fred made improvements, however, Jemmott said.

“Now, instead of the ventilator supporting him 100%, it’s supporting him 70%,” said Jemmott.

But the day before his death, his publicist told The Source his fever peaked at 105 degrees and his kidneys were not working.

Complex reported Fred, a prominent figure in the New York rap scene,  appeared on the coveted Freshman Class cover of XXL in 2011 with Kendrick Lamar and Mac Miller.
