“I blew up at the age of 25. I only enjoy the celebrity lifestyle just a little. When I wasn’t a celebrity, I used to be more free and hang out with friends. But now, it’s like I’m in a box,” he shared.

The artist also spoke about the burden of being the primary provider for his family, a role that has added even more weight to his shoulders.
