Azealia Banks alarms fans with suicidal thoughts after sharing a series of worrying messages. Taking to Instagram early on Sunday morning, the “212” rapper revealed that she is in a dark place and is considering ending her life.
“Yea, I think I’m done here,” Banks began. “This pandemic, extreme lack of social interaction, no intimacy, combined with constant public ridicule is making life harder than its worth.”
“I think I will end my tenure here on earth soon,” she continued.
Furthermore, she assured fans that she wasn’t seeking attention or sympathy. “I’m not begging for attention or asking for sympathy/empathy,” she wrote. “I’m just ready to go. Peacefully of course. I will document my last times and release a film for you all to finally understand me, From my perspective.”
The 29-year-old rapper said her “soul is tired” before adding, “I’m ready to go.”
