“Hey U Guys! I’ve heard all your wishes and now from my lips to your ears,” the singer wrote.“I’m working on my new album and going on a brand new World Tour this summer! Both titled ✨ ‘Black Diamond.’ ✨Black Diamonds are the toughest of all the diamonds, the hardest to cut. I see that as the hardest to hurt or destroy. There is a lot that I have endured. I see myself as a Black Diamond in its purest form. I’m a rock, I have ruff [sic] edges but I keep moving forward. I want to show you my strength as well as give you strength."
