While appearing to be dealing with substance abuse and clear mental health issues, he claimed in the videos, which are the only four videos currently up on his Instagram page, that he reached out to Krzyzewski and the message was ignored, and then went on to ramble about how a broad group of people is trying to ruin his life.
“You guys are cutting my power off, breaking into my house, stealing money, ruining my life,” are some of the words he used when describing his situation. He claimed that people are watching him at all times, and that he can’t leave his house. “I’m stuck at my house, and I can’t leave; I feel imprisoned,” he said in one of his other videos.

Singler also blamed Duke for this, claiming that they are “all about it. I got Duke begging for my money. Everybody’s after my money… I reached out to Coach K and all he did was sit me on the bench. Thanks, man.”
He stated that “people are trying to kill me” in one of his videos. He repeatedly used the words “trying to kill me” throughout his series of disturbing posts. He provides no further explanation of why he believes this, but at the end of his rant, he circles back to Coach Krzyzewski.
“Coach, you got a former player being mistreated and abused and you ain’t doing nothing, man. Help out,” is what Singler closed his third video with.
Singler posted a video in 2024 saying that he fears for his life every day, which was met with support from former youth teammate and NBA player Kevin Love.
