“Call me daddy… 💗,” he captioned the post.
“It got a little dark for me for a little bit mentally,” Ennis explained. “In the music industry, there’s so much that we can’t control and there’s so much that happens that doesn’t go our way a lot of times. But for me, being out on the road and seeing the fans react to my music is what kept me going. And when that was taken away, it kind of got dark for me.”

Ennis said he eventually found himself consulting with his manager about pulling the plug on his solo career entirely.
“I just had to look myself in the mirror and figure out what my expectations were and why I even had them for myself in the first place,” he remembered. “I’m a competitive person and I do have big expectations for myself. It was never where I was getting super depressed or anything. It was just that I was really, really bummed.”
“He showed me some numbers from a streaming service, and even though I hadn’t released music in a long time, there were still fans that were listening to the music,” Ennis said of the realization that occurred earlier this year. “It really reinvigorated me as far as putting music out.”
