I don’t need a middle person or a filter standing between me and my fans.
Because from day one, it has always been about me and my fans.
I want to make sure my fans know as much as possible about who I am and what I am as a human being.
There shouldn’t be guessing.
There shouldn’t be assumptions.
Again,
I also believe this should apply to every artist and their fans.
That should be the closest connection.
They should know each other the best.
The strengths and the weaknesses.
The good and the bad.
Truth matters more than imagination.
That’s why I’m grateful to have you all.
I wouldn’t be able to create any of this without the opportunities and blessings you guys have given me.
This one is for you all.
The unpolished and true me.
Thank you for letting me be me.

#ThankYou
