The young musician also opened up about his mental health struggles, revealing that he has been diagnosed with clinical depression. He admitted that his self-worth had been repeatedly diminished by those closest to him, leading to emotional distress. “I have been robbed of my peace, drained emotionally and maybe financially too, but that’s the least of my concerns. What really matters is that I am clinically depressed because of these happenings.”
Many of his fans and followers took to the comment section to offer strength and support to the musician.
