Earlier this week, 25 year old Grammy nominated artist, CHIKA, had her fans in a frenzy. She took to instagram stories to express how she was considering ending her own life. While in St. Paul, Minnesota, CHIKA expressed that she thought about leaping off the of The InterContinental Hotel. She said it was her fear of the metal stairs that may have prevented her from jumping.
“i went to the top of the intercontinental, but could not jump. not because i don’t want to, but because the metal stairs were scary. that’s the thing about having a fucked up brain. no matter how much pain you’re in, there will always be something holding you back. it’s draining & sad,” she wrote. “it looks like crying wolf, but it’s not. it’s just difficult to find the right way. the quickest way. the painless way. i am tired of myself too.”
CHIKA Hints At Being Suicidal… But Seems To Be Doing Better
She added, “i don’t need anyone feeling bad or worried bc i failed the last time i tried. save your emotions for when I succeed.” She described herself as a “cautionary tale of sorts and said her succeeding would be“eternal freedom.” She ended with, “No more typing. i’m going to finish my drink and find a way that works. thanks for the ride, i hated it.”
This is very disturbing considering CHIKA has a history of dealing with Mental Health issues. The outspoken Alabama emcee has been very open about it in the past. Gladly her latest tweet seemed to have a more positive outlook. She tweeted ‘alive, wanna go home.’ Thank God
