Rapper G Herbo has opened up about his experiences with depression and why it is so important to have a safe space for support when going through tough times.

Appearing as a guest on Hot 97’s Ebro In The Morning on Friday (Sept. 23), the Chicago native talked about mental health, grieving the death of his brother and more.

“You don’t even know the support that you have until you open up and say something,” the 26-year-old explained. “It don’t have to be your family; it don’t have to be your closest friends. There’s people out there who just care because they understand what you’re going through.”

Herbo also shared his experience when it came to losing his best friend who he called his brother, who was fatally shot back in 2021, and admitted that he relied on drinking alcohol as a way to numb the pain.

“When it happened, it threw everything off about me,” he said. “I didn’t care [about anything]. I didn’t have any motivation for music, nothing. I knew I couldn’t just give up all the way. I snapped out of it.”

“When I started drinking liquor I was not myself,” he continued “I didn’t even know how to handle it being off liquor, because I was doing it to grieve.”

G Herbo recently performed at Rolling Loud New York, he is set to release his upcoming album Survivor’s Remorse on Oct. 7.
