Taking to Twitter, he opened up in posts and set the record straight about his “misunderstood tweet.”

“Maybe let’s start here. I have been through depression myself and would never not understand anyone’s reaction to it. People deal with situations differently and I will never judge anyone who may go through that.”
The Mbize hitmaker explained he was simply sharing what had helped him when he was battling depression
“It would be extremely stupid and insensitive of me to criticise those who have passed on. I am simply sharing with those who may be going through depression that Christ helped me. I believe he can help you.”
