The Panda hitmaker later took to his Instagram Stories and wrote:

“For the past few months i have not been ok, and i have been struggling to come to terms with what is going on.”

“While overseas for a concert i performed at, i had to be admitted in to a hospital, i was not thinking clearly. They gave me meds, and i had to hop on a plane home,” he added.

“I will be canceling all of shows and any obligations until further notice. Mental health is real guys, please pray for me. If you’re not feeling like yourself please get help,” he concluded.
