The singer and younger brother of Backstreet Boys star Nick Carter also blames a “s*** ton of anxiety” for his weight loss, adding that he’s addressing the issue “with my fam personally the best I can.” He has been candid in the past about using anti-anxiety drugs and developing an "addiction to Xanax."
“Plus I changed and grew up and I look different it's annoying as f*** dealing with that too,” he continued. “My world is enflamed in judgment. But I f***ing love creating beats/music and writing singing more than anything in the world that makes me super happy.”
