Fortunately, he turned to therapy, which undoubtedly saved his life.
According to PEOPLE Magazine, The Kid LAROI stated, “It’s a tough thing to talk about. I’m kind of a bit awkward as it is when I talk about stuff, and then talking about something like that is obviously, it’s not easy for me to go there.”

When did The Kid LAROI consider therapy?
The rapper got closer to therapy when he was having suicidal thoughts. Furthermore, it benefited him because he could be raw and honest with the therapist without the fear of judgment.
He stated, “Naturally, [we] as humans have fried feelings or fried thoughts. And we’re all works in progress. No one’s perfect. So being able to voice that without being judged is really cool. I got blessed with having a really good person. Someone who’s really wise and listens.”
The artist considered the late American rapper Juice WRLD as his mentor. Reports suggest that after the latter’s passing, Laroi was deeply disturbed. Furthermore, WRLD was only 21 at the time of his death.
