He also appreciated his fans and everyone supporting his music, promising that he won’t let them down in 2023.

The singer wrote, “Last year December 2021, I performed at three shows, one paid and I begged to perform at two just to be seen.

“2022 December, I woke up every day to alerts for shows. I haven’t had this kind of busy December since 2017. 20+ shows in one month. God Thank you.

“And to my fans and everyone who streamed my music this year, God Bless you. There’s got to be more and I promise 2023 will be a better year for everyone who has supported me this year. We will definitely have a great 2023.”
