East took to Instagram to update fans on his well being, as well as that of his daughter Kairi Chanel Brewster. Posted up in the East Harlem home base, Dave stared coronavirus in the eye and didn’t blink. “Corona who?” he captions, implying that family should never be placed second even in the direst of straits.
Curiously, the picture arrives following another image of East out and about, boldly roaming the streets of Harlem with a cavalier tone. “Still In Harlem Fucc A Virus!!!!” he captioned, twenty-two hours removed from the lockdown picture. In any case, it would appear he had a change of heart and has since decided to buckle down and wait for the storm to pass. Whether this ultimately has an impact on his next album Karma 3, has yet to be seen.
