Overview
- On Wednesday the rapper told ABTalks he lived with bipolar disorder for years and at one point prayed for death before experiencing a turning point in 2019.
- He said symptoms began at his career peak while judging a reality show and touring with Shah Rukh Khan, causing him to shave half his head, leave a performance and then lock himself inside his home for seven years.
- Singh said seven years on heavy psychiatric medication left him about 105 kilos and caused total hair loss, which is why he now wears a wig.
- He credited changing doctors and adjusting medications—steps he says produced clear improvement within about four weeks—and said he remains a diagnosed bipolar patient who is now recording, touring and stable on treatment.
- Singh recalled warnings from peers about his drug use and said he quit drugs in 2014; his public disclosure this week has prompted wide media coverage and renewed public discussion about long‑term psychiatric care and its physical side effects.
