In a recent post via Instagram, the 29-year-old was full of praise for the blessings he is enjoying currently.

"Why do we glorify our talent like we have blessed ourselves? Of course, we put maximum work and energy into our craft. But where did that determination come from? You could say environment, upbringing, or circumstances but who placed us there? It was more than just us," he posted.

"I&039;d like to think we all are blessed with what we need. And nothing comes from us. Which brings me to my knees to worship. Forever grateful. All praises to the Creator," the post read further.
