Nigerian singer Hotkid has revealed that before becoming famous, his colleague, Asake, was homeless and depressed.
Recall that Asake hit fame after he was signed to ace rapper, Olamide’s record label, YBNL Nation.
He said the ‘Mr Money’ crooner was shuffling people’s apartment and even opened up to him that he was depressed.
He spoke while featuring as a guest on Hip TV programme, Trending, hosted by KimOprah, recently.
Hotkid said, “The funny thing is that I never knew there was depression. Now let me just tell you this story real quick. In early 2020, Asake was in my room, he said he was depressed. I didn’t understand.
“Asake is my birthday mate. He was sleeping in my room. Then he didn’t have an apartment. So he was just shuffling people’s houses. He was in my room one night and was like how long does he wanna do this. I was cheering him up. I didn’t know that my own depression was coming.
“That’s why I always say it is easier to give opinions when you are not in someone’s shoe. So when I see people in some situations, I feel bad for them. Don’t judge. You don’t have any opinion. You are not perfect. It’s God that is helping you. Do you think the people you are judging are happy they are passing through that situation? Before I was like that but now I know better.”
