It has taken me so much time to appear like this in public because of my own insecurities but I decided to post this picture not just because for years people had their own versions of my story, I did this for myself,” he wrote.
In part of his long caption the DJ went on to express how he is learning to cry as a man. “I’ve always been tough a person I’d take anything, even inherit other people’s problems and bottle them inside while they eat me up, now as a father I try to teach my kids not to do the same so I’m learning to not to be strong when I’m not supposed to be. I’m learning to cry and reflect in my own truth and all my faults and I’m trying be better. My dear brothers it’s ok, it’s ok to cry. Growing up we were often told “indoda ayikhali”. This line has mostly groomed men with no emotions who find it easy to harm other people (emotionally or physically) mostly women. Let’s change this,” he wrote.
