I’m very aware some of my fans had noticed I was laying low for part of the summer and questioning why I wasn’t promoting my new music, which I was extremely proud of. So I found out I needed to get a kidney transplant due to my Lupus and was recovering. It was what I needed to do for my overall health. I honestly look forward to sharing with you, soon my journey through these past several months as I have always wanted to do with you. Until then I want to publicly thank my family and incredible team of doctors for everything they have done for me prior to and post-surgery. And finally, there aren’t words to describe how I can possibly thank my beautiful friend Francia Raisa. She gave me the ultimate gift and sacrifice by donating her kidney to me. I am incredibly blessed. I love you so much sis. Lupus continues to be very misunderstood but progress is being made. For more information regarding Lupus please go to the Lupus Research Alliance website: www.lupusresearch.org/ -by grace through faith

Observations

• Selena Gomez won the game, but Beyoncé caught the snitch.
• Instagram users love a good biology theme. Having a baby? Kidney transplant? Double tap delight.

When you need a nap during meet n greets. Wish that was a real thing but that’s why I adore my littles. I hope I could make a few of you smile today. Thank you again @coach I can’t believe my bag is finally out. Or that I even designed a bag?!
