Background vocalist Ajanee Hambrick, who said she and her family contracted COVID-19, thanked H.E.R. -- a two-time Grammy winner -- for her generosity in a candid Instagram post.

"I've been gone for a second because my family was directly affected by COVID-19. All of us were infected with the virus," Hambrick wrote. "Today this BOSS just blessed her whole team with some COVID-19 funds to help us through the next few months. I’m not talking about a little bag for groceries! She just blessed every last one of us! Thank you, sis!"
