He wrote,

“I didn’t want to say anything till after his burial. I know many asked why I wasn’t there. Why I haven’t said anything about it since. I took him like a brother and good friend. I was there for him when he needed me.
But he stabbed me in the back, repeatedly.
That’s LIFE.
I’ll drop the full details soon so others can learn from it.
Be careful what you wish people, it could come to you”.
