“Hey Mobstarrs, I’m sorry you’re not seeing as much of me as I would like, I had major surgery a few days ago. I was hoping it would be a quick recovery, but it was more complicated than they expected. I just need a bit of rest and I’ll be back!!!” she wrote, assuring fans that she is okay and simply needs time to rest before returning to work.

Her message quickly drew attention with fans flooding social media with prayers and well wishes. Many thanked the singer for sharing the update herself and encouraged her to focus on getting better before resuming her busy schedule.
