Henry, Ryan Garcia, confirmed that Kingry is okay and was just trolling with his cryptic social media post earlier today.
It could be difficult now for Ryan to face his fans and admit that he was just pulling their chain with his social media post.
Cryptic Post Caused Alarm
Henry’s post will relieve fans after Ryan’s post went viral on social media earlier today due to its cryptic nature. Fans wondered whether the 25-year-old Ryan was in danger or having a mental health meltdown.
