He also shared a fun tidbit: his birthday photoshoot took place just the night before, adding a playful touch to his reflections. āToday, Iām happy, Iām grateful, Iām honoured,ā he said, underscoring the joy of being given another year to experience life.
For those who want to join in the celebration, Shaggi encouraged his fans to check out a special birthday song he created for himself.
āIf you wish to gift me today, just listen to this song I made. Itās available on all music platforms and linked in my bio,ā he mentioned, inviting everyone to be part of his special day in a unique way.
