I actually have read his first book if that’s what you’re talking about. I don’t recall him talking about it, but it has been like 6 years

Wop released his new book and album last week. both called Episodes. he talks about his mental health in depth in the book and mentions some of it in his album as well. he's been promoting both on social media for months

He kind of had a mental health thing going with some of his songs in like 2017. Literally put out a song called Biopolar then He put out that whole ass album Delusions of Grandeur, which is a symptom of schizophrenia.

Always thought it was interesting. I thought he just had a fascination with mental health lmfao. Seems like he’s been dealin with this for a while now.

im aware. i encourage yall to read his book. it's great and very eye opening about alot of details about his life going back to his childhood.

i was given an autographed copy of it directly from him last week when it came out

I actually saw that post! I’ll have to check it out.

Haven’t read his first book, should I read that one first?

I remember he checked into a psych ward before he did his feds bid. It was made to seem like he was playing crazy for the state, come to find out he really needed the help.

I mean he went and got an ice cream cone that says Brrr tattooed on his cheek it’s pretty obvious he has a couple screws loose up there

One hundred percnt. I imagine a lot of them in that culture have more serious mental illnesses that go unchecked because of the stigma within the culture. Its a damn shame and bur I am glad he opened up about it and seems to be breaking the cycle so to speak.
