Chika is currently struggling with mental health and suicidal ideation. In a lengthy statement posted to her Instagram Stories, the rapper said she’s simply looking for a different method in which to end her life.
“i went to the top of the intercontinental, but could not jump. not because i don’t want to, but because the metal stairs were scary. that’s the thing about having a fucked up brain. no matter how much pain you’re in, there will always be something holding you back. it’s draining & sad. it looks like crying wolf, but it’s not. it’s just difficult to find the right way. the quickest way. the painless way. i am tired of myself too.”
She continued, “i don’t need anyone feeling bad or worried bc i failed the last time i tried. save your emotions for when I succeed.” After describing herself as a “cautionary tale of sorts [when no one listens],” she called her potential suicide as “eternal freedom.” She ended the post with, “No more typing. i’m going to finish my drink and find a way that works. thanks for the ride, i hated it.”

However, in a recent tweet, she stated that she is safe and doing a little better.
“I am alive. I am okay. Thank you to everyone who has reached out to check-in. It’s been a very intense week. I am not retiring. After what I’ve endured in the past few days, I am not ever going to allow anything to stop me or anything to stop me or almost take me from this ghetto earth,” she tweeted.
