Lead singer of R&B group Next, RL sat down with VladTV and shared his experiences while at the height of the group's fame, saying he was actually depressed much of the time and has had self-esteem issues since he was five, and actually attempted to kill himself in high school.

RL says he walked into school with a gun in his mouth and a picture of his recently deceased grandfather, thinking he had nothing left to live for. Police were called and the singer was handcuffed, thrown in a padded room and was forced to wear a straitjacket.
