When Ab-Soul spoke to Rolling Stone about his new Herbert album, he implied that he once tried to take his own life.
But in a newly released interview with Charlamagne tha God, the TDE artist fully admitted to the suicide attempt, explaining that he jumped off a highway overpass in Carson, California where he's from. [Head to the 23:38 mark]
“I lost my teeth,” said Soulo, who also said that he conquered an addiction to vape pens. “This is a flipper, I ain’t even got my implants yet. My jaw’s f*ked up, I got a lot of work to do still. My foot is completely reconstructed, all the way to my pelvis. Everything but my knee. It doesn’t even make sense that my knee wasn’t affected. My femur, everything was affected except my knee."
“If my knee would have been affected, I might not be walking. I did not get any brain damage. I jumped off a freeway overpass, man, it was about 50 feet. I think a car broke my fall. No brain damage. It’s God,that was, [saying] ‘Alright bro, now sit down and shut up. Take it all in. Relax. You blessed, man.'”
Ab-Soul's new album Herbert dropped today, Friday, December 16.
