Rapper Jeezy is in the middle of promoting his book and says he has battled depression for close to 8 years.
While talking to Tamron Hall he said he learned that vulnerability is Power.
“I thought something was wrong with me, thinking I come from poverty, this is just how it is.”
“I didn’t understand trauma and all these different things so when I started to get the words for it, I started to understand and grab tools, I started to become better,” he told host Tamron Hall. “I started my journey and that’s why I’m expressing it and putting it in the book because I didn’t know I was depressed for like eight years of my life straight.”
According to E-News The “Put On” artist went on detail the toll depression on his life, explaining that he often wanted to “sleep forever” and was “leaning into my vices.”
“And that’s what street life does to you,” he continued, saying that he was especially affected by violence in his community. “When you lose 200, 300, 400 people like gone forever, you just, you get numb. And I wasn’t able to get in touch with my emotions and I was wondering why.”
The musician said that it was his children—including his and Jeannie’s 20-month-old daughter Monaco Mai Jenkins—that helped him feel more deeply: “Thank God for my kids, but there was a time I was just cold. That’s when I was Young Jeezy.”
