Statement Reveals Why Kamar Williams Went Missing
A statement released on behalf of Kamar Williams’ family confirmed that the influencer, who is one-half of the popular content duo 80KTwins, has made contact with his loved ones after leaving home earlier this month. According to the statement, Kamar explained that he stepped away from social media and those around him because he needed a mental health break. He reportedly told Kiyel that he had been dealing with overwhelming anxiety and wanted time alone to focus on his emotional well-being, reflect on his identity, and think about the direction of his life.
“It is sometimes difficult to reflect on yourself and understand your own identity, especially when you have a twin around all the time. I apologize for worrying y’all. I did not realize that my absence would result in such an abundance of love and concern,” he revealed.

Furthermore, Kamar also thanked everyone who showed concern during his absence. He apologized for worrying his family and supporters, saying he never expected so many people to rally behind him. He also revealed that his publicist connected him with an organization where he can receive mental health support and asked for a few more days of privacy while he continues focusing on himself. Kamar additionally expressed that men don’t always receive the same level of emotional support during difficult times and said the outpouring of love reminded him that people genuinely cared.
“Sometimes it feels as though men do not receive the same level of emotional support when they are going through difficult situations. Women often have their best friends and homegirls. I have a supportive family, but sometimes it feels like family members do not always understand your struggles or take what you are experiencing seriously,” he shared.
