Camila Cabello isn’t letting COVID get her down.

Despite testing positive for the still highly contagious virus (“I got the rona,” she announced on social), the pop star is smiling, posting TikToks and singing.

Actually, singing isn’t the right word.

On Monday, the former Fifth Harmony member posted a video from her bed, lip-syncing to Pitbull’s “Watagatapitusberry (Remix).“

I got the rona

♬ Watagatapitusberry - SENSATO

The poppy, mildly NSFW song plays in the background as the 25 year old mouths the words into a remote control while holding up various cold medications. Judging from the background, it seems as if she is back home in Miami.

“Henny con cranberry / I’m feeling so dirty / Baby, you spaghetti? / Let’s go, I’m ready / Tírame por el Blackberry / Vámono’ en el ferri / Be happy, don’t worry.”

(“Watagatapitusberry” is urban slang for, um, hitting on a woman, in case you missed the reference, folks.)

Cabello’s text over screen reads, “If u got the rona and still gonna live it up in isolation make some f---in noise.”

No updates as of Wednesday, but we hope the “Señorita” hitmaker is feeling better. At least we know she has a good soundtrack to keep her company.
