Oh no! Singer August Alsina says he's going blind

Last night R&B singer August Alsina shocked his fans by revealing that he'd slowly been going blind. So sad. He is very young, just 22 and already battling such a disease. Must be so frightening for him. The things we take for granted. See what he wrote after the cut...

      Sorry to reply u but can u please stop writing this rubbish shit asking who he don help? I don't know his story but what if he had suffered in the past before he made his money n no on helped him all that while n now his money is the result of his hard work? He isn't obligated to help any one, it's if he chooses to. If u are so concerned about pple helping pple. Why dont u go and make ur own money and stop being "someone's driver". It's very irritating when u write like an illiterate. Go and make ur own money and stop waiting for others to help u. Don't be a lazy ass
