“Life has been trying to take me out lately,” he explained. “From the accidents, the sicknesses, and stuff and then me finding out I had AIDs and HIV summertime of this year. I couldn’t walk after the summer.”
“Listen, I am not the victim here,” the content creator continued. “Yes, my ex gave me this and I didn’t know, he hid a lot of things, but I’m not a victim because I had signs. I was so deep in love. But God is good. I know now.”
Mannie confirmed that he’s taking HIV medication which he said costs $4,000 a month.

Sorry I thought otherwise I’m starting myself back real soon! I know I said things before ! But the is REAL ON MY END! God bless each and every one who has HIV/ADIS #Godisamazing your health is important.”
