Dee-1 Reflects On Mental Health And Having Suicidal Thoughts After BET Cypher
In a recent interview, rapper Dee-1 discussed mental health and his experience overcoming suicide thoughts following his 2014 BET Cypher performance. On The Breakfast Club, he talked about his modest start in the business and expressed doubt that he would ever have the chance to display his abilities again. He also talked about his time in college, his new record, and other topics in other parts of the conversation.
He shared,
“Right after that BET Cypher I started going to therapy, bro,”
“I was signed to RCA at the time. You on the BET Cypher and you think your life about to change after this night…Nothing changed after that night. After that, I felt like I blew my shot. It started messing with me mentally to where I was like, ‘Damn, I kinda don’t even wanna be here no more. Not in the industry, but on this Earth…When I started realizing I was having suicidal thoughts behind feeling like I’m professionally a failure, I realized I couldn’t separate David from Dee-1 at that point. And that was unhealthy.”
“And for the first time in my life, I went to therapy. Because I was like, talking to my friends, that ain’t getting it at this point. Talking to my grandma, rest in peace, that ain’t cutting it at this point. So therapy really did help me, but ultimately even more than therapy was understanding my God given purpose. I know who my creator is, I know why I was put here, and I was put here to glorify him. So who am I to think that my whole life is a failure because one moment didn’t elevate me professionally?”
