Coronavirus Update: Bay Area Rap Legend E-40 Tells People To Stay Home On 4/20, Slow Virus Spread

SAN FRANCISCO (CBS SF) – With 4/20 looming, Bay Area rap legend E-40 joined calls for people to avoid gatherings on the day celebrating cannabis to slow the spread of coronavirus.

In a video posted on San Francisco Mayor London Breed’s Twitter account on Friday the rapper said, “We love 4/20, but let’s not get out there in crowds, let’s not do that.”

E-40 said he knows people from across the country who are suffering from COVID-19. “Anybody can get it, you can give it to parents, you can give it your kids, and vice versa,” he said.

“Let’s practice social distancing, let’s stay in the house,” he went on to say. “If it’s got to be a month, two, three more months, four more months, let’s get that thing by us so we can get on with the rest of our lives.”
