"The cancer was the easiest part. The deadliest, but the easiest," he wrote.

"People will say, 'I knew it. He has cancer'. But I don't have cancer anymore. This weight loss, I wish it was from cancer and it was that simple. I lost 20kg from a gallbladder issue."

The biggest thing I think I've ever had to share with the world. Thank you @threenewzealand for letting me do this the way I want to & allowing me to document probably the most vulnerable time of my life. Kia ora ✊🏾

"The complications have been worse than the actual surgery. It's been full on, but not in the way that you'd think," he continued.

"To be honest, I wasn't shocked. I know no one's destined to have cancer, no one's destined to get sick and die. This is a gene, things just happen. But I always felt like it was going to happen."

"I felt like I was going to go through anything and everything that could go wrong, but there's going to be a purpose. I just didn't know everything that was going to happen," he admitted.

So... The past nine months have been a life changing journey full of ups & downs to say the least lol. As an artist I like to make every situation a creative experience no matter how sh*t it is... There is always much beauty to be found in heart ache, loss, pain, trials, tribulations & even sickness. I have stayed quiet for a while, I've sat back and let many people talk. I've watched assumptions be turned into facts. But soon i will show you guys whats really been happening... What I will say now is that I have alot to share with you all & I have something special to show you soon 😏😏😏 This thing we call life has taken me to places I would never have expected. I cant wait to share this next chapter with you all. The journey that I've been on. Whatever you may have heard, I'm telling you now, you STILL know nothing! I will share with you all very soon what has been happening... until then, if it does not come from me, then it ain't a thing. Stay tuned. ✊🏾✊🏾✊🏾

"Throughout my life, I've wanted to die so many times. I tried to commit suicide when I was a kid and even as an adult, things get too overwhelming," he shared.

"That's why I like talking about that stuff – people think it just ends when you get successful, but it just gets worse."

"You're an adult now, you're more developed, there's more pressure, you know more things and you get overwhelmed by things," he added.

"But thinking about the number of times I wanted to be right there in that position, in the moment, when I almost died, now, I was fighting for my life."
