The social media star had been open about mental health and substance addiction, sharing that he’d been sober since 2018. “I got sober in 2018 and have been an advocate for substance abuse awareness ever since, helping men and women who are struggling find the treatment they need,” he wrote in a pinned post introducing himself on Instagram.
“I love beauty, and I find nothing more beautiful than the world we live in.”. Speaking about his passion for mental health he added: “I also have a background in mental health and substance abuse. “I have been outspoken about mental health since I was speaking about it as a YL leader in high school, and have been transparent about my own struggles in the hopes it will help others along their own path.”.
