The Philadelphia resident made it to the battle rounds on "The Voice" this spring before dropping out to enter rehab.
"At the time, being on the show wasn't working for me and I felt like I needed to go, instead of taking on more responsibility than I could handle," he said in March.

Am guessing the ticket is first class
DeleteRoyal priesthood, you lack exposure and thanks to LIB, you have been given a platform to show how foolish you are, even from Christain standards, you are so guilty of judging others that the same measure awaits you. Suicide is a risk factor for Major depressive disorder, bipolar disorder and Schizzophrenia- three debilitating mental health disorders, it is never intentional and people who survive an attempted suicide say this much to their clinicians. Research in suicide has gone a long way in advanced countries while fools like you in Nigeria , sit down and prove to the world that your education is as good as none .

ReplyDeleteIn cases like this, I am always proud to be Nigerian....we've seen and experienced worse depressions, betrayals, incests, political misdeeds,devastating economics and health challenges,Poverty, etc. we practically live in the dark for the better of our years in life. No water supply, no good roads and all...yet we chose life and hope. I do not intend to condemn any however. Just saying He had so many things to live for..
ReplyDeleteRIP bro.
Omg, his 'I feel good' rendition had all 4 chairs turning. Rip
ReplyDeleteRip. This is what depression can cause. Even taking medications will worsen it as point. Only Jesus can save. Please repent and believe in God and The saviour Jesus Christ.
