Singer Doja Cat has revealed she contracted coronavirus months after she said that she wasn't "scared" of the disease. The 24-year-old artiste, who has since recovered from COVID-19, said she still doesn't know how she caught the virus.

"I got COVID. Honestly, I don't know how this happens but I guess I ordered something off of Postmates and... I don't know how I got it, but I got it," she said during an interview on radio network Capital XTRA. The "Say So" hitmaker, whose real name is Amalaratna Zandile Dlamini, said she is now okay after having a "four-day symptom freak out".
