"I'm excited for this next chapter in my life, I'm the happiest I've ever been, and for since I could remember I was sad,” he told TMZ ahead of his child’s birth. “Time to take care of my body and my family and friends, and spread as much love as we can every day."
While speaking to Theo on the recent podcast episode, the Sunflower singer spoke about gaining stardom at a young age. He found fame in 2017 after his debut album Stoney was released.
"I wondered for a long time why I was so sad and it was because I wasn't able to do what I like to do in my current circumstance," he said on the podcast
"When you come into the whole music world so young, it's super easy to just be a f--- up kid," he said.
"I wondered for a long time why I was so sad and it was because I wasn't able to do what I like to do in my current circumstance," he added. "I think it's important for anyone... to get out and take some time for yourself. And for the longest time I didn't."
