"Pls Charles eat your proteins bulk your muscles, stop dt fruit fast o"
@dimmaositadimma was more pointed:
"I don't really understand this man anymore. I don't know if you're suffering from any sickness; better open up and tell the world what you're going through so that will help you."
@pr.esh772 posted an emotional appeal:
"No, this isn't you. This isn't the old you I used to know. I don't know who you are anymore. I loved the old you. I used to wish my man could be like you. Please, go back to the way you were before. I don't like this new version of you. You're giving low vibes, and I don't like it at all. Please."
@citizen_stev wrote sarcastically:
"Open up and tell the world like it cares"
@tejerenikoro offered a gentler take:
"Pray for him when you see this post. That's the best thing you can do and would wish people do for you too."
@flawed____queen drew a sobering parallel:
"This is the exact same thing y'all did to Chadwick Boseman and Alex Okubo. Y'all will bvlly them without realizing the actual battles they're fighting. And when they're no more you'll come with your fake sympathy. Some people actually appear fine to mask up their struggles. Please be kind, please be kind. Let people live!"
Charles Born has not publicly commented on the concerns raised by his followers.
