He continued to tweet, getting tweeps very confused.
"I don’t mean to be ungrateful man, but TMB just went double platinum and I don’t really even give a proper f*ck about it. That’s messed up," he wrote.

The the rant went on, with tweeps wondering if things are okay with AKA and DJ Zinhle's romance. The pair recently got back together after a terrible break up which was splashed all over social media.
"Professionally I’m killing it ... personally, I have no fucking idea what I’m doing," he wrote.

"Like, I really appreciate that y’all still fux with me but honestly, I don’t wanna be famous anymore. It totally sucks," he wrote.
