Ab-Soul spoke to Rolling Stone and revealed that he survived a suicide attempt. While the TDE artist didn’t go into detail, he talked about how the situation impacted him and how he created his newest album before the incident. Since then, Ab-Soul sat down with Charlamagne Tha God and spoke candidly about attempting suicide.
Soulo revealed that he was lost during the period that led to him trying to take his life but noted the journey made him assess and get rid of destructive habits. “I did not get any brain damage, I jumped off a freeway overpass, man, it was about 50 feet. I think a car broke my fall. No brain damage. It’s God. That was, ‘Alright, bro, now sit down and shut up. Take it all in. Relax. You blessed, man.,’” said Ab-Soul.
Another portion of the interview found Ab-Soul revealing how the music from his latest album related to the moment in time. The rapper said, “I pretty much finished the album before I did what I did. How I’m choosing to take it is—and I’m not giving it credit—but it brought me down to a place where I needed to be as vulnerable as possible. And as soon as I said everything I needed to say, I jumped.”
Following the jump, Ab-Soul talked about remembering what went through his mind after jumping from the freeway overpass. “F**king idiot. I woke up on the floor, bro. Yanked me up, I passed back out and woke up in the hospital,” said the artist. Ab-Soul noted he lost his teeth due to the jump, saying, “I ain’t even got my implants yet. My jaw’s f**ked up, I got a lot of work to do still. My foot is completely reconstructed, all the way to my pelvis. Everything but my knee. It doesn’t even make sense that my knee wasn’t affected. My femur, everything was affected except my knee.” Watch above.
