Trick Daddy says he has the cure for coronavirus. Remember, he’s a rapper, not a doctor

Trick Daddy had a “big announcement” to make on Tuesday.

The Miami rapper posted a video to his Instagram account telling his 671,000 followers he had some major news.

While getting dressed — putting on his cap, buckling his belt — Trick talks to the camera.:

The Sunday’s Eatery owner says his insider advice regarding coronavirus “may save your life,” or “get you rich.”

The 45-year-old “Love & Hip Hop: Miami” star said his followers should stop wasting their money buying masks and worrying about others coughing around them.

“We had the Zikia [sic], mad cow disease, hepatitis, chicken pox, all that s--t,” said the “For the Thugs” singer.

Then, finally, two minutes in, came Trick’s big announcement (drum roll):

“I got the cure for the coronavirus!” he shouted, punching his palm. “All you got to do to avoid [it] is to drink you two Heinekens a day! The coronavirus doesn’t stand a chance!”

A person off camera snickers. And Trick laughs, too.

Thanks, we thought that you were going to tell your people to come and eat your fried ribs.

In all seriousness, read what you can do to protect yourself from the worldwide illness, what symptoms feel like and when you should go to the hospital.

And remember, Trick Daddy is not a licensed medical professional.
