According to the singer, he reached out to Keyamo-- who he addressed as his brother, for help when his mother was dying. He mentioned that Keyamo, whom he attributed to having the hallmark of a blackmailer, didn’t help but rather took screenshots of his messages and “kept personal details for three years.”
