The singer also shared information about kidney donations with a series of pictures on his Instagram story. The details stated that people only needed one kidney to live and they could return to their "normal activities within "2-4 weeks" after the surgery.

Levi assured fans that the procedure would be done at the "best hospital" and all bills would be paid by his "insurance benefits." Normani, a fellow singer also supported his cause by re-uploading his post on her Instagram story.

The seven-track EP is a diverse mix of pop, rock, R&B, and more. The 22-year-old believes life isn't one thing, which is why he pursued a degree in business and finance while he was building his music career. In 2019, he earned his degree from Full Sail University.
