In one tweet, a fan asked: “I can’t really see my future on my career path. How do I stay motivated and not being demotivated by all successful people around me?” to which the artist answered, “Dont ever compare yourself with others. Everyone has their own life and their own pace. Just work hard and enjoy the process and pieces will fall into place.”
Upon his deactivation of Instagram early in the year, fans were worried about the artist’s early retirement. Related to this, a fan asked, “I reckon a lot of people are hesitant to see you retiring and things like that because they’re unsure what it means for us as fans. So if you do retire, what will that look like from a fan’s perspective?” with him answering: “Not retiring yet. In the last two years I think I did like 80 fts [features] but only put out like 7 songs under my name lol. I owe myself and my fans at least 1-2 more good albums. I’m just too much of a man of the people sometimes I put my own career on hold. This year gon’ be crazy. Trust.”
