The Kid Laroi has been forced to reschedule three of his shows in the US due to illness as he leaks texts to prove how sick he is.
The Australian rapper, 20, had concerts lined up for Tuesday night in LA before he was set to jet off to Phoenix and Denver for the rest of the week.
Now, the singer has revealed in an emotional Instagram post he and several of his crew members have tested positive for COVID, and will be cancelling those shows.
‘It absolutely kills me to say this but unfortunately this morning I woke up feeling like complete shit and tested positive for COVID along with a bunch of crew members,’ he began his lengthy message to fans on Wednesday.
‘I’ve tried everything in my power to make this show happen tonight and asked if there was a way we could do the show safely and I would push through.’

He continued: ‘I was strongly advised by my doctor to not do so for not only the safety of you guys but also because of the long term damage it could cause to my voice.’
Laroi, who was born Charlton Kenneth Jeffrey Howard, went on to explain he would be rescheduling his Tuesday night show at The Torch at LA Coliseum to July 18.
He then rescheduled his May 29 Phoenix show at Arizona Financial Theatre to July 15, and his May 31 Denver show at Fillmore Auditorium to July 13 ‘in order to protect you guys and my crew’.

The Grammy-nominated artist finished his message with: ‘I love you guys more than anything, I appreciate the support and I can’t wait to see you guys soon.’
Laroi went on to prove just how sick he was by leaking messages which showed two of his team members talking about him and his inability to perform.
‘Do you think he should do the show? Can you get the people to juice him up to do the show?’ one person wrote.

The other replied: ‘Nope. He is sick as a dog. It will not go well and it will look bad. And his voice is trashed. You will get a short term, but potentially bad for the next two weeks.’
It comes after Laroi confirmed his relationship with Canadian pop singer Tate McRae last month, reported Billboard.
In a very sweet moment, he proved rumours he was dating the dancer, 20, correct on stage in Dublin at the 3Arena during the European leg of his world tour.
‘I need everybody in here to sing this as loud as they can because my girlfriend’s here tonight, and I don’t want to look lame,’ he told the crowd as Tate giggled in the audience.
