So many people long for the “rich life”—a life overflowing with abundance, beauty, luxury, and everything this world seems to offer. Yet very few ever discover what true riches are, because many today no longer understand real wealth, real prosperity, or real abundance.

God created this earth already filled with beauty, luxury, decadence, and things that sparkle. “The earth is the Lord’s, and the fullness thereof.” (Psalm 24:1)
But over time, humanity drifted farther from the gifts God placed before us—His creation, His nature, and one another. People began to see riches only as money, status, jewels, and possessions meant to impress others.

My experience with Robert has shown me clearly how deeply people today react to what others think. Even those who insist they don’t care often do so because they want to appear strong, unique, defiant, or independent.

One of the things I love most about Robert is that he genuinely does not care what people think of him. But in some ways, he took this too far—not in the way most assume, but in the way that he refused to respond to gossip, assumptions, or slander for years. His silence allowed false ideas to spread about his character, intentions, and behavior, opening the door for people with harmful motives to twist that silence for their own benefit—whether for profit, revenge, or fame.

This was especially true concerning the story involving Aaliyah. As I have shared on our YouTube channel, I know were not true.

Many women today claim relationships with him that never happened, simply because he refused to address the gossip. Even individuals recently presumed to have been in a relationship with him have never shared any romantic or personal relationship with him.

I also know of one woman who publicly claimed he hurt her. I know, from documented history and from statements made by her own family, that she spent years obsessed with him and struggled with severe delusions. Robert never had anything to do with her. But when people with similar motives and perspectives come together—especially in a culture that feeds on negativity—the outcome becomes predictable.

Once people form an opinion, it feels almost impossible to get them to listen to the truth. I have lived this firsthand. As Robert’s true life partner, and his real and only current girlfriend of nearly seven years, the moment I came online I attracted many obsessed fans—people who lacked boundaries, lived with misconceptions, and behaved as if they personally knew him.

Robert always wanted his community to feel included. He never wanted to appear big-headed or disconnected from where he came from. But this also created conflict. He had become too famous for the environment around him. Those who grew up struggling often saw him as an opportunity rather than someone to care for or protect. Even today, people online use his name simply to gain attention, views, or likes. They know he will never retaliate or seek vengeance, because forgiveness is in his nature.

I believe God loves him deeply. Sometimes what looks like destruction is actually God clearing a path. While it seemed his enemies were prevailing, God was quietly bringing him and me together—two hearts and minds perfectly aligned. From the moment we met, I sensed clearly how our journey would unfold. I have experienced spiritual impressions for years, but they became stronger after meeting him, as if God knew we would need extra guidance for the challenges ahead.

Though we have struggled at times to hold on to the vision God placed before us, we never lost faith. Considering what he has endured—the pressure, the negativity, the trials—his struggle is completely understandable.

I simply wish people understood what true riches really are. I wish the world responded to rumors with Christian compassion, patience, and harmony. I wish people understood the abundance God has placed all around us—through nature, honesty, community, and peace. All we must do is ask and believe. “Ask, and it will be given to you; seek, and you will find.” (Matthew 7:7)

Whatever we seek—good or bad—we will find. This is why we must seek good sincerely, without pride, assumptions, or the desire to be right.

To me, the truly rich life is one where you live freely on your land, grow food in abundance, create with your hands, and use the gifts God has given you. Richness is peace, quiet, harmony with all creatures. Richness is community rooted in sincerity and love. It is building a family—wherever you are—that understands how to live God’s way: nurturing, protecting, teaching, and uplifting.

There is wealth in watching the fruits of God’s creation grow. Even the rough soil holds blessing, because it connects us back to Him. The miracle of planting a seed and watching it become food, shelter, or clothing—this is true abundance.

If you have never experienced this kind of richness, I encourage you to seek it. It is the kind of wealth no one can take from you. It is your birthright. When you live with gratitude, peace, joy, and love, God promises to bless you with far more than you expect.

But remember: God may give you what you ask for, whether it leads to good or not. Wealth that can buy the world does not guarantee goodness. So pray wisely. Seek the riches that allow you to leave this world in peace, knowing you lived the life God truly intended for you.
