All glory to God! By His grace, we are all ok.”
The actor and singer also explained, “I appreciate your concern and well wishes. I made this video for my friends and family, after the incident, but so many of you all are my family too so I figured I’d share with you. Yes, it was me and my team/friends onboard the aircraft.
