According to his admission, a minor miscommunication with his record label boss precipitated his failure, which nearly drove him to commit himself.

He went on to describe the nature of his existence, which elicited a variety of reactions from supporters.

In his own words:

“One day I woke up around 6 am and went to the beach and thought about jumping into it because I’m not the type to ask around for help because I always try to be contented.”

“I challenged God and told him I had never worshipped anything else; if I did now, it would be his fault. Three months after that encounter, my life changed. I was able to record some songs, collect my royalties, get back on my feet and get my own place and even buy myself the exact car I lost.”
