Chika – who earlier surprised her fans and music-biz colleagues by stating that she was planning to retire, has spilled the beans on her struggles.
The rapper has revealed that not only was she disappointed enough to consider leaving the industry, due to an unfruitful music career, she also contemplated ending her life in the midst of all the mental trauma.
“I am alive. I am okay.” – she announced on her Twitter handle earlier this week.
“Thank you to everyone who has reached out to check in. It’s been a very intense week.”
On her early retirement, the 24 year old further added:
“I’m not retiring. After what I’ve endured in the past few days, I’m not ever allowing anything to stop me or almost take me from this ghetto a*s earth.
Thank you, @iamcardib for reaching out & showing such kindness to me in a time I don’t even think you knew was as serious as it was. You’ve always shown love to me & don’t think I could take that for granted.”
Later she released a lengthier statement detailing her struggles with suicidal thoughts, following which she decided to take a break from social media.
