“I appreciate ya’ll concern but the missing narrative isn’t cool, especially knowing that people really do go missing everyday,” he wrote. “I took a little time to myself to get back to my roots, but trust I’m all good. Apologies to anyone that was worried. We don’t run from battles we take em chin up. IM BACK [purple heart emoji].”
Angela Potts also released an updated statement.
“Thank you for the PRAYERS and SUPPORT. Choppa’s ok[.] He needed a minute, but didn’t communicate it to his loved ones. I never intended to scare anyone with my post nor did I expect for people to think he is missing. But the frustrations of being the mother of a celebrity can be a bit much and overwhelming at times,” she wrote.
