I’ve noticed a lot of internet discussion over the past few days, including postings, comments, and screenshots that have sparked suspicions about my personal life, my involvement in projects, and even some baseless tales about my family. I want to take a moment to be clear: practically everything that is out there is conjecture, skewed by repetition, and frequently just false.
I don’t like having to defend myself every time a rumor comes out. I’ve always preferred to let my actions speak for me, as many of you are aware. However, the noise level has recently increased to the point where I owe you, my detractors, neutral followers, and fans, an honest response. Here’s the truth: I’m not participating in any covert transactions, I’m not at odds with anyone behind the scenes, and I’m not considering “coming back” to the spotlight simply because I was mentioned in an article.
I’ve always operated under the straightforward tenet that if something is worthwhile, I will express it on my own terms. Until then, consider the remainder to be background noise. Social media is useful, but it also promotes exaggeration and amplifies false information. A screenshot lacking complete facts, an out-of-context snapshot, or a rumor disguised as “inside information”—none of these things constitute the truth.
I want everyone who cares about me—friends, family, and fans—to keep in mind that I’ve remained the same person over the years. I like spending time off the track, spending time with my loved ones, and being by myself. Honesty, performance, and consistency were the cornerstones of my profession. I would be the one to make any significant announcements, whether they were about a project, a comeback, or a significant personal update. Not someone else posing as my representative.
Please consider carefully before making something dramatic just because it grabs your attention, everyone who is reading. Do I know this is real? Do I see evidence? Or am I merely contributing to the spread of yet another rumor? As a community and as fans, we all have an obligation to stand up for the truth rather than rumors.
Lastly, I want to say thank you. I’m grateful to everyone who has helped me through victories, silence, retirement, and this never-ending commotion. More important than any news is your loyalty. Let’s not allow unfounded rumors to skew what we know to be true. Both online and off, let’s uphold integrity, respect, and authenticity.
Kimi.
