It's a great feeling and humbling to know that my fans are still there and still into it for me. I'm grateful for their support and loyalty they've always shown for me. My fans have supported me since Day 1 and that means the world to me." Regarding training here in the states, Tua seems to be very content. "All is good, I have no complaints.
