Ghanaian rapper, Yaw Tog has revealed that Ghanaians are only concerned about when he will commence his tertiary education rather than his mental health.
Cookie Tee on TV3 New Day asked when the 20-year-old singer was returning to school.
Born Thorsten Owusu Gyimah, the drill rapper replied, “Everywhere I go when are you going to school, people don’t even care about my health”.
He added that “How are you doing has turned into When are you going to school?”
The young rapper told Cookie Tee that Ghanaians are unconcerned about his upkeep and mental health.
The award-winning rapper admitted that he has been depressed for a while. However, his team and management have helped him to overcome depression. He blamed the depression on overthinking and being too young.
The 20-year-old rapper said he’s been on the low working on his album, ‘Young and matured’ and trying not to stress his life about certain things.
The ‘Sore’ hitmaker said he has developed thick skin since he started music due to the lessons from the industry and the backlashes he has received so far.
