The management for 20-year-old Philadelphia rapper Popp Hunna have issued a statement following a troubling Instagram Live in which he appeared to be contemplating of harming himself.
“In regards to yesterday’s live, we are asking for prayers and positivity right now for Popp Hunna,” the statement read. “If you have someone you love and care for who is dealing with suicidal thoughts, don’t overlook it, get them help immediately!!!”
The young rapper went viral on social media after his song “Adderall,” which dropped in 2020, blew up on TikTok. The song eventually caught the attention of fellow Philly-native Lil Uzi Vert, who got on the remix.
In the ladder half of Hunna’s Instagram Live, a bottle can be seen in the frame. It is unclear what was in the bottle, but the rapper can be heard talking about his father, saying, “My dad was like, ‘I wish you weren’t even alive.’” Eventually, the rapper leaves the bathroom where this is taking place and returns with a belt tied around his neck.
Trigger Warning:
Before Hunna can do anything with the belt, a woman enters the bathroom and takes it from him. She eventually helps him out of the bathroom and ends the live.
Before this, Popp Hunna posted to his Instagram Story, writing, “20 years old wit no purpose in life allah call me home I’m ready I gave it my all.”
Fans of the rapper urged him to get help in the comments of his Instagram Live.
