"As we embark on a new phase, I am thrilled to share our renewed vision and plans for the future. It is with regret that I must address the issue of mismanagement and unforeseen circumstances surrounding our previous social media accounts."

"Due to these unavoidable circumstances, I hereby announce the launch of our new official communication channels."

Simple Boy further stated that he will take legal action against anyone seeking to misrepresent him on his former social media sites, which he no longer controls.

"Please note that any social media accounts bearing the names "Stivo Simple Boy" or "Stevo Simple Boy8" are no longer under my control," the statement added.

"Any activity on these platforms claiming to represent me is considered impersonation and will be dealt with according to the law."
