Baring his heart online, he revealed that he shouldered a heart-wrenching loss last year. Recounting the emotional turmoil, Shmurda wrote, "A few days to the drop of my album last year, I was an emotional and mental wreck.

Going on, the entertainer penned his experience with people who betrayed him and attempted to inflict harm upon him.

In his words, "At the same time, I started getting threats to my life. The mere fact that I was in the UK was an opportunity for certain people to hurt me, and I saw a video of a group of guys that had been sent to a location I was supposed to be to attack me there. I was hurt, angry, and confused. It was the darkest place I’d ever been in my life."

The singer ended on a high note as he joyfully announced the birth of his son, noting how appreciative he is of the second chance life has given him.

His tweet read, "I got news that my little boy is here. I’m happy and blessed. What’s lost can never be replaced, but I have another chance, a new lease on life. A new purpose. I’m a new Daddy; DO NOT DISTURB."

Since the announcement, he has received massive support, love and congratulatory messages and posts across social media.
