More than 160 cases of COVID-19 have been confirmed so far among people who attended the Watershed Music Festival at the Gorge Amphitheatre in central Washington.
More than 20,000 fans packed the Gorge, in George, Wash., for the three-day outdoor country music festival in late July, The Seattle Times reported.
The Grant County Health District said Friday (Aug. 13) the cases are tied to residents in counties including King, Grant, Pierce, Skagit, Kittitas, Okanogan, Whatcom, Kitsap, San Juan, Lincoln and Stevens. There’s also one case tied to an Oregon resident.
Officials expect more cases associated with the festival to be confirmed in the coming days and investigators are working with those who have tested positive to identify other cases.
Public Health officials urge people who attended the festival to self-quarantine and get tested for the virus. On average, symptoms of the virus develop five to six days after exposure, but the incubation period can be as long as 14 days, officials said.
In eastern Oregon, Umatilla County Public Health officials have tied at least 66 COVID-19 cases to the outdoor Pendleton Whiskey Music Fest on July 10. Sixty-one of the people who tested positive were unvaccinated, officials said.
Boosie Badazz is among the people reacting to Kanye West‘s wildest admission yet – that he molested his male cousin when they were both children.
The claim shocked social media and even Boosie who had an unexpected reaction to West’s revelation given the two have been beefing over the last few years, mainly over politics.
On X, Boosie wrote: “DAM KANYE I FEEL BAD FOR THIS DUDE THIS DUDE BEEN THREW SOME SHIT BRA. THE RANTS MAKE SINCE NOW. THIS MAN WAS SUCKING DICK AS A CHILD.
The Baton Rouge rapper continued with his sympathy for West: “SMH HIS MIND IS FUCKED UP I HATE HIM HAVING TO GO THROUGH THIS AS A CHILD THIS MAN COMING FOR ANY N EVERYONE WITH A RAPTURE WHOEVER WRONGED HIM N THEY IN TROUBLE.”
In a post on X, West detailed the real life inspiration behind his new song “Cousins” which details a sexual relationship with a currently incarcerated male relative while both were children.
He wrote: “This song is called COUSIN about my cousin that’s locked in jail for life for killing a pregnant lady a few years after I told him we wouldn’t ‘look at dirty magazines together’ anymore. Perhaps in my self centered mess I felt it was my fault that I showed him those dirty magazines when he was 6 and then we acted out what we saw.”
West continued: “My dad had playboy magazines but the magazines I found in the top of my moms closet were different. My name is Ye and I sucked my cousins dick till I was 14. Tweet sent.”
The song also includes the lyrics: “Hanging with my cousin, reading dirty magazines / We seen some ni-gas kissin’, we ain’t know what that shit mean / Then we start re-enacting everything that we had seen / That’s when I gave my cousin head, gave my cousin head / Gave my cousin head, I gave my cousin head / I gave my cousin head.”
West did not reveal the identity of his cousin and given the controversial rapper’s penchant for trolling online, the claims have not yet been verified by an independent source.
