Problem 1:
In your controller you use ...->first() so you get only one model and not a collection, so you cant loop it with an @foreach loop inside your view.

@foreach($single_chat as $single_chats) should be @foreach($single_chat->chats as $chat), so you can loop through the chat_message of one user.

Problem 2:
Inside the loop you try to get your chat_message from $single_chats like this {{$single_chats->chat_message}}
If you use {{$chat->THE_MESSAGE_PROPERTY}} it should work, because we fixed the loop error in Problem 1
