IBADAN, Nigeria (VOICE OF NAIJA) – Nollywood actor, Kunle Remi, has reacted to the death of popular American DJ and choreographer, Stephen Boss, popularly known as tWitch.
tWitch died after reportedly committing suicide on Wednesday, 14 December, 2022.
Describing his passing as sad news, the movie star recounted when he was suicidal in 2017 because things weren’t going the way they ought to.
The actor who played ‘Saro’ in Kunle Afolayan’s movie, ‘Anikulapo’ said, “Sad News but I can absolutely relate to that. It’s never really fine, as we say, I am fine, even though we always act like it’s fine. We go through a lot as men.
“I remember in 2017 I had a series of tweets that I went on to delete. It was very suicidal. Someone called me a year later and said I should go delete those tweets, I was going through a lot, I was overwhelmed, I was thinking too much of my career, am I doing enough, am I enough, am I with the right person? So many thoughts in my mind.
“At a point, I could not take it, I felt so useless, not enough, incompetent, even though it was the contrary of what I felt, I was beating myself too much, then I started to tweet randomly and I was very close to jumping off the bridge or just taking my life. It took the grace of God for me to scale through that.
“I usually bottle up. I don’t share stuff but I learnt to become better doing that. And I just want to share a word with every man out there. Look, it’s not easy, and it’s not going to be easy, but talk to someone. Always.”
