"They say I am an actor, musician, painter, and writer. But I am just simply an artist. I am driven by an insatiable passion. They celebrate my work, but little do they know, I am broken, just like them. I am a slave to the very craft that once set me free."
In a poem, Abdul shared: "You didn't tell me your value was hollow. That your price was too steep. You didn't tell me you were just beautiful on the outside, but rotten within," he scathingly wrote.

"South Africa hates talent. They love mediocrity. If you are black and talented, they chew you up very fast, and as soon as they realise that you know your worth, they spit you out. You are in my prayers."
nangamldah responded:
"We owe Vathiswa Ndara an apology. She stood alone when you all knew she was telling the truth. We support you, but you guys must also be one UNITY!!!"
tbotouch replied:
"Reading this with mixed emotions because this is coming from the exceptional talent of our generation, few may dare to attempt to emulate, let alone surpass, your remarkable trajectory. Be not weary in well doing, brother."
muzimthabela shared:
"This industry will chew you up, and spit you out."
drmnyamande comforted:
"It's lonely at the TOP. Who entertains the entertainer? Who heals the healer? To whom does the pillar of strength look up? Who advises the master? Who meets the needs of the one who always provides? The ones that are the greatest need the GREAT ONE the most."
