Despite the struggles and harsh life, Andile revealed that none of this pained as the abuse he suffered sometimes. The artist revealed that from time he was 10 years old to when he turned 15 years old, a neighbour repeatedly molested him. Even though the person bought food for them, Andile latter discovered the inappropriate things he did to him as molestation.

Despite having gone through all that, he says that he is a man of God and that he has forgiven the neighbour for having made him go through so much hurt and pain.
