In response, he emphasized the importance of not entertaining unnecessary drama and scandals.

“Sometimes there are sweet dramas and then there are boring (dramas). I don’t entertain any of them. People create dramas and scandals, but the results of treating that stress are hard. If you can’t solve it, then leave it and leave it to God, and if you have to solve it, then solve it. Then you have to relax, and even that divorce paper is not a problem,” he said.
