Listen, I'll keep this post real & honest regardless how difficult it is to navigate both publicly & privately. No PR bullshit, just how it is.
Yumi & I have had our fair share of differences both creatively as well as personally for some time. This affected our friendship, business relationship, and ultimately our dynamic with the rest of the other Group guys. To be clear, the other members of The Group are out of this equation entirely & have done an exceptional job as friends in trying to repair or reconcile his/my friendship when him and I could not.
These differences and disagreements we've had in the past lead to a slow-burning separation between the tuah us. He decided he'd like to start a new chapter, away from The Group, and continue onwards.
I'll say it again, this topic is not the easiest to navigate especially when trying to rebuild a burnt bridge & at some point you all would have needed some sort of answer eventually. The specifics of our disagreements should be kept to ourselves & handled privately. I own any petty faults that caused the speculation originally (blocking him on social media) in the heat of the moment after an argument.
I've got a lot of love for him deep down as he was a brother to me for many years. I have no ill feelings toward him & I really do wish him the utmost success in his career, personal life, future endeavors, & a path to healthy growth.
