“I, for sure, contemplated suicide a lot of times, having guns in my hand, feeling it for real,” said Big Sean. “Not even trying to be dramatic, but I definitely was even planning it out to the point where [I thought], ‘Hey, if I do kill myself, at least my family will get this amount of money. I did this already.’”
The 32-year-old emcee went on to explain what he was feeling at the time. Sean told Dyson, “I was just stressed out and not happy. I realized that: Okay, I need to stop everything I’m doing and figure this out or I’m going to self-destruct.”
Big Sean also discussed how meditation helped him deal with his depression. He compared the technique to taking a shower in order to clean his spirit and his energy. The full episode of One Question One Mike will premiere March 3 at 5 pm ET/2 pm PT on Facebook Watch.
