Every human has the right to live with dignity and security, regardless of gender. I am a believer of peace, however I also believe in establishing boundaries when that peace is repeatedly compromised by another, regardless of gender.

When the safety and dignity of a person is violated and jeopardized over and over again, he unfortunately is left with no option but to react.

He also shared the video of vandalism on his Instagram account and captioned it, “This is just a glimpse of what I have suffered.”
He wrote, “I never spoke about it. People should know that being famous is not a privilege but in fact, can be problematic sometimes. I believe in bodily autonomy and safety for all. Violence against anyone whether man or woman is wrong but It is my right to protect myself and my loved ones if I am physically and verbally harmed and threatened.”
He added, “I am not proud of engaging in a physical fight but I am only human and it was a reaction to all the torture I suffered. I am sorry that my fans had to see this side of me and I do not intend to support or promote violence.”
