Yeah, I believe it and there's nothing wrong with it. It could help people understand anyone can get it if they decide to confirm it.

We just received word that a VERY popular African American celebrity – who has recently been in the news – now has what is being described as AIDS. Obviously since we are not able to 100% confirm the story – we’re going to leave it as a Blind Item. We want to make it clear we are NOT talking about Magic Johnson.
This report really hurt our heart.
According to a person extremely close to the situation, the celebrity, who is known for having a very extreme sexual past reportedly contracted the illness sometime in the 1990s. He kept the illness quiet but began taking his medication religiously up until about 2 years ago. Here’s what we’re told by a VERY trusted entertainment insider:
“
[The celebrity] believed that he was cured, and he had some crazy [religious] people who told him that God cured him. So he stopped taking his medication and the sickness came back. Now doctors say he’s dying, and there is nothing anyone can do about it.
We’re told that the celebrity is expected to get sicker and sicker, and eventually pass. It can happen as soon as the summer.
Very sad news.

SOLVED!
Celebrity: Prince
Prince died of AIDS just three days after we ran this blind item.
While most of the conversations about Prince’s demise have centered around reports of a recent flu and a recent drug overdose, those issues do not tell the full story.
Prince had AIDS. He had suffered with the illness for many years. Those close to him knew both of his illness and his desire to keep it a secret.
In the past few days, multiple sources have confirmed different parts of the AIDS story.
People Magazine hedged its bets by simply referring to it as a “serious and ongoing illness” “which made his immune system weak”:
“
Prince May Have Struggled with a ‘Serious Illness’ Before Sudden Death, Source Says: ‘People Close to Him Were Very Concerned’
A source who worked with him a few years ago believes he was grappling with a serious and ongoing illness at the time.
“The people close to him were very concerned for his health and indicated he’d been undergoing treatments which made his immune system weak,” the source tells People.

Yes, we knew that the original blind item was about Prince. Some of you figured out that the specific photo we chose of Magic Johnson contained several clues about the subject of the story.
First, and most obviously, Magic Johnson was mentioned in the blind item as a celebrity who is HIV positive.
Second, before moving to L.A., the Los Angeles Lakers were the Minneapolis Lakers. Prince was born in Minneapolis, and his home/studio, Paisley Park, is just southwest of Minneapolis.
Finally, we remembered a photo of Prince as a member of his High School’s basketball team in which he was posed in a similar uniform. Just a kid on a basketball team who would grow up to be a music icon.
Bmj524 was first with the correct response.
Thanks to those of you who shared your memories of growing up with Prince’s music. It was extraordinary, wasn’t it?
