Prince Kaybee revealed his devout Christian mother faced extreme suffering despite her unwavering faith. He wrote: “I just wanna discuss God, if he exists.

He described witnessing her pain: “But oh boy, she suffered. I saw in her eyes how excruciating the pain was. She went through financial exhaustion. People that love her, like me, also suffered looking at her go through all that. What kind of a sick God allows this if He is all powerful and all knowing?” (Prince Kaybee/Twitter)
