UILabel multiline truncate middle as a whole string not working

Question

I am using a UILabel which is of 2 lines. I want to make it like

"Had the best experience ever! She is very gener... – Mary" truncating middle portion but I am unable to achieve the same result.

Also consider that label must be of 2 line and name at the end must appear. My code for label for initialisation is as follow

    self.labelMessage = [[VTUIKit labelSecondary] addToSuperview:self];
    self.labelMessage.numberOfLines = 2;
    self.labelMessage.font = kVTFontSecondaryVeryTiny;
    self.labelMessage.textColor = kVTColorGrey300;
    self.labelMessage.lineBreakMode = NSLineBreakByTruncatingMiddle;
    self.labelMessage.f_width = [VTReviewDisplayCell cellSize].width - 16;

And for setting label text

    NSString *reviewString = [NSString stringWithFormat:@"%@ - %@", self.model.message, self.model.customer_user.first_name];
    self.labelMessage.text = reviewString;

I dont understand why its not working properly.

Any help would be much appreciated.

Try with below code

UILabel *contentLabel = [[UILabel alloc]initWithFrame:CGRectMake(40,100, 250, 60)];
    contentLabel.numberOfLines = 2;
    contentLabel.text = @"Had the best experience ever! She is very generally uwuq wuqe iwqwq – Mary";
    contentLabel.lineBreakMode = NSLineBreakByTruncatingMiddle;
    [self.view addSubview:contentLabel];
