"The first few days, my head was the worst,” he shared. "My head was banging so much. I dunno how I got symptoms, because I'm a child, I'm 15. But my head was banging, my body was aching, my throat was fine.

"And then all of a sudden my body's sort of stopped aching – it aches sometimes – my head still bangs but not as much but for some reason my throat is so sore."

He added: "Yeah, I've got Covid. And for some reason I have, like, symptoms. Normally minors don't get symptoms. It's not severe… it's just annoying."

Junior revealed he has tested positive for coronavirus in an Instagram post shared last week. He posted a message telling his followers, "I have tested positive for COVID," along with angry and anguished emojis.
