‘The Voice’ alum Tom Nitti breaks silence on show exit after Reba McEntire announcement
Tom Nitti have officially waved goodbye to The Voice season 24, but reassures “this isn’t the end for him.”
The Voice contestant, who was confirmed to be exiting the show’s season 24, after Reba McEntire’s announcement has revealed the reason of quitting.
Taking to his Instagram account on Tuesday, the 31-year-old musician shared a video featuring the candid and memorable days of his life during Nitti’s tenure at The Voice.
The video which also included Cody Johnson’s song Leather mostly featured his girlfriend Ashley Bryant and their two kids. It also showcased Nitti’s time on the set of The Voice season 24.
Alongside the adorable video, Nitti penned a long caption to explain the reason behind his exit, “Well, I’ve been dreading this day ever since the airing of my blind audition so here goes nothin’. …First and foremost I’m blessed beyond belief and I can’t say enough how much I love and appreciate the constant support from my fans, my friends and my family.”
He went on to explain, “As much as it absolutely stings to say, I had to make probably one of the hardest yet easiest decisions ever and ultimately at the end of the day, my kids will always come first and if I had to make the same decision again I’d do it over and over…..This past summer was filled to the max with everything I love and could’ve only dreamed of and Thanks to @nbcthevoice I was able to live my wildest dreams and do what I’ve always hoped.”
“I made friends that’ll last a life time, experiences that I can hold on to forever and even found REAL and TRUE love (@ashleybryantofficial)…. I wish I can put every single person in this post that had my back going through the tough times while I was in California like @jacquieroar @huntleymusic @lennonvmusic @officiallybias @marajustine1 @thejordanrainer @steemusic @reba but nonetheless I hope everyone knows how happy and grateful i am for them,” he continued.
Nitti further reassured, “This isn’t the end of me and I’ll do what I do best for everyone to see which is keep my head down and move forward playing music and raising/creating new memories with a family I will continue to grow. I never believed in the whole, things happen for a reason statement but in this case I think God has it all figured out. He knows I don’t break easily. For everyone asking, I’m alright and still standing.”
He concluded his post noting, “Thank you so much and as always, I’m super pumped to keep on keepin’ on with music, my kids Rayleigh and Brently my whole family to include my smokin’ girlfriend that keeps my head held high… Im more than ready to continue to live life now happier than ever before. #familyfirst #itsnotoveryet #thevoice #imstillstanding #support #blessed #kentuckygotme.”
This post comes shortly after Reba McEntire, The Voice judge confirmed the departure of Nitti during the Monday’s episode saying, “I have wonderfully talented people, but Tom had to leave for personal reasons, so I only have five artists tonight.”
