The singer also shared information about kidney donations with a series of pictures on his Instagram story. The details stated that people only needed one kidney to live and they could return to their "normal activities within "2-4 weeks" after the surgery.

Levi assured fans that the procedure would be done at the "best hospital" and all bills would be paid by his "insurance benefits." Normani, a fellow singer also supported his cause by re-uploading his post on her Instagram story.
