Polo G Shares On The Pressures Of Being A Rap Superstar And Mental Health
During an insightful interview with Kurrco, rapper Polo G spoke candidly about his decision to take a break from the music industry. The young superstar revealed that the weight of fame can take a significant emotional and physical toll on a person, and it wasn’t until it was too late that he realized how debilitating it can be. In light of this, Polo G made the difficult decision to take a step back from the spotlight to prioritize his mental health and focus on his family’s well-being, which he felt was paramount.
Polo G divulged that he unintentionally took a three-year hiatus due to personal situations he had to navigate. The rapper admitted that it was challenging to stop making music, given that it had been the driving force in his life up until that point. However, he soon came to the realization that the break was something he needed to recharge and get back on track. Despite the difficulty, he felt it was necessary to take time to reflect, grow and become a better version of himself.
Taking a break proved to be the toughest decision Polo G had ever made, and it had a significant impact on his mental health. However, he’s now ready to make his comeback and has announced plans to release his new album, Hood Poet, in August 2024. The album has been in the works for several years, and the lead single, “Distraction,” was released back in June 2022. The single peaked at number 39 on the Billboard Hot 100, an impressive feat for any artist, but Polo G admits that he still feels the need to prove himself.
The rapper noted that he doesn’t believe that everything he’s accomplished so far is enough. He feels that everyone wants him to prove himself, and he’s determined to do just that. Polo G’s fans eagerly await his return, and it’s time for him to show that he’s still got what it takes to excel in the industry. With his talent, drive, and determination, there’s no doubt that Polo G will continue to make his mark and remain one of the most influential artists of his generation.
