The singer said he had prayed for a change earlier in the year, and the sudden boost felt like a direct answer to those prayers.
He added that the success reminded him that help can come in unexpected ways, and he remains grateful for how the moment reshaped both his life and career.
He said, “Earlier this year, I told God he needed to bless me because my career, I was being laughed at. My team and I had a plan, but little did we know God had a bigger plan. God raised a kid in Barcelona, Lamine Yamal, and all it took was one simple dance video that went viral, and changed my life. I had written down seven prayer points, and all of them happened in one day. It’s so amazing that I found myself editing an adidas advert, a global advert. I want to give glory to God.”
