“There’s so much I want to say, but not much I’m allowed to say,” the singer, whose off-stage name is Samantha Diaz, wrote cryptically in an Instagram Story. “But I promise I’ll say more very soon.”

Diaz won the remote competition 2020 in the midst of the pandemic, but fame and fortune failed to materialize, forcing them to play New York City subways like they had before.

“In 2021, I was very ashamed to return to trains,” Díaz wrote earlier this month in a since-deleted caption accompanying a performance on the subway in Ariana Grandeof “Almost never enough”.

“I didn’t want people to know that I legitimately needed the money and I didn’t want people to know that it wasn’t optional.”

The Sun tabloid in Britain reported on Just Sam’s plight weeks ago but many media in the United States became aware of the status of the “Idol” alumnus on Tuesday.

“I was disappointed in myself for allowing myself to sink so low after winning ‘Idol,’ but then I had to take it easy and remember that I started my journey with ‘Idol’ at age 20,” Diaz wrote, according to The Sun. “I don’t even know anything about Hollywood or the music industry.”

Diaz, who won a recording contract, previously parted ways with Hollywood Records without finishing an album.

“I’m making music,” said the singer. by Just Jared. “I just can’t afford to release music, because mixing and mastering music costs a lot of money. And I invested in myself and ended up broke. That’s the truth. Not broke, broke, as if living. I have my own place.

HuffPost has reached out to “American Idol” for comment.

In August 2022, Díaz reported being hospitalized while apparently noticing dangerous weight loss. “I really need help,” Diaz wrote.
