In June 2018, he was arrested in Stratford and charged with carrying a knife in public. Hours after his release from prison in April 2019, he made a surprise appearance on stage at Canadian rapper Drake‘s concert in London.

According to him, he said he’ll be lying if said he knows what’s going on, but he has lost control of his music, and he’ll never drop any music again in a series of tweets on his Twitter handle.
