English writer, Producer and actor Idris Elba has debunked claims that he has been paid to deceive people that he has contracted the Coronavirus.
In a video posted by the actor, he disclosed that he has been tested positive for the virus. Few days later, his wife Sabrina Dhowre was also tested positive for COVID-19.
While a lot of people all around the world have showed great concern for the actor and wife after they were diagnosed of the virus, others have also criticized them.
American star Cardi B, in an Instagram Live disclosed that celebrities have been paid to say they contracted the virus.
“I’m starting to feel like y’all niggas is paying niggas to say that they got it,” said the “Bodak Yellow” rapper. “And if y’all are paying ni**as to say that they got it, pay me too.”
Reacting to Cardi B’s allegations, Idris described her opinion as stupid as no one will dare joke with a dangerous virus just to get paid
“And also this idea that someone like myself is gonna be paid to say I’ve got coronavirus. That’s like absolute bullshit, such stupidness,” he said. “And people wanna spread that as if it’s like news. That’s stupid. It’s the quickest way to get people sick. There’s no benefit to me and Sabrina sitting there saying we’ve got it and we ain’t got it. I don’t even understand the logic of that.”
