Wale isn't happy, so to fix that he's cutting off his dreadlocks and quitting social media.

Man idk what I'm doin but I know I need to make changes .. find my happiness , could this be phase one? I'll be leaving you guys for a while.. my friend @issarae says it's time to change up .. my man @renaldowilliams says it's time...

He also sent this tweet, which makes it seem like he's going through something heavy at the moment:

The ability to feel for everyone is my super power The ability to feel for everyone is my kryptonite

Compassion is my ally and my nemesis — Wale (@Wale) July 23, 2017

If you've been following Wale's career, then you know he's talked about being depressed before. In fact, Meek Mill called him out for it back in 2015.  In addition, Wale's last album 'Shine' suffered from low sales numbers, so it's possible that he was affected by that too.

Why do you think he seems so depressed?
