Jeremih continues to remain in the intensive care unit amid his hospitalization for the novel coronavirus (COVID-19).
On Thursday, the 33-year-old singer's agent shared that Jeremih — whose real name is Jeremy Felton — was taken off the ventilator, but his condition is still considered to be critical.
"J was just pulled off the ventilator," his agent said in a statement to Variety. "He’s still in ICU in critical condition. Please keep him in your prayers."
A representative for Jeremih did not immediately respond to PEOPLE's request for comment.
