Zion Foster posted a teaser for a song about fatherhood on July 15, singing lyrics that set tongues wagging.

Foster quickly moved to correct the record. In a July 15 Instagram Story, he wrote that the misinterpretations were "incredibly painful because they simply aren't true.". He explained, "I wasn't saying I was walking away from my children or abandoning my responsibilities as a father. I was talking about the overwhelming reality of suddenly facing a rare and complex medical diagnosis that I knew nothing about." The rare and complex diagnosis is spinal muscular atrophy Type 1, which the twins have.

Foster emphasized his dedication, writing, "I love my girls more than words could ever express. They are my world and always will be." Neither has commented on the twins' ongoing treatment or specific future co-parenting arrangements.
