Hes one of a few artists who have successfully transitioned from childhood star to adult music sensation.

Sammie, 33, opened up to Atlanta Black Star about his newest studio album, his love life, and his latest business ventures.

Ive been friends with someone well over a decade and we never crossed those lines romantically, he said.

He explained that the duo have always had a romantic spark, but said they decided to remain friends for fear of ruining their friendship.

He expressed that this record is much different than his 2019 album Everlasting.

I was in the middle of going through the worst breakup ever with the only girl I was in love with, he said.

I didnt want the relationship to end but it just had to because we both were toxic to one another, he admitted.

Sammie shared he initially recorded the album to heal himself and explained that he sought therapy after completing the project in the hopes of overcoming some of the things that happened in his relationship.

I have closure. Im as happy as Ive ever been.

Im single. Im finally just focusing on God, me, my career, and my business ventures, he said.

Ive accepted that all these things are the journey to the destination.

The Kiss Me Thru The Phone lyricist launched his candle line Pure Love Pure Honey in February and is now working on his book titled, Good to Know.

The story will center around the different ways men think, so women are able to communicate with their partners in relationships.

He said he doesnt know when the tours will start back up, but ensures fans that hell be ready to perform.

He mentioned he has been praying, writing poetry, and focusing on his multiple business endeavors.
