Grammy-nominated rapper Chika has announced she’s retiring from music due to the mental toll it has taken on her.
“It’s really cool watching the world not give a f__k and paint you as a villain,” Chika posted on Twitter on Sunday.
“I’ve told my team, i’ve [sic] told my therapist, i’ve told friends and acquaintances. today i [sic] told Twitter. what followed was a hoard of psychotic fans rejoicing in the decline of my mental health, harassing me as if I spoke to them first,” wrote Chika.
The rapper says people were “cheering for the decline” of her mental health and due to her depression, “the negative self-talk you have towards yourself is deafening.”
