Social media users were quick to weigh in on the rapper’s posts, with many expressing sympathy for the difficult circumstances he appeared to be facing.
Some fans urged him to prioritise his mental health and recovery, while others encouraged him to seek support from trusted friends, family members and professionals. Many supporters praised him for being open about his struggles, noting that public figures often face immense pressure behind the scenes.
Others, however, questioned whether sharing private conversations publicly was the best way to address deeply personal matters.
One Instagram user said: “Guys, this is his proof because many of us were never going to trust or believe him. But honestly, this woman seems to be going over the limit. After all of this, because of the kids, he could lose everything, especially since the law often favours the mother. I’m not sure whether they’re married, which could make his situation even more difficult.
“I’m sorry, my king, but it’s good that you’re being this transparent. And just so you know, you’re doing great. There’s no falling for you—God is always with you and your children.”
While another one said: “That first message would have got me on my knees.”
