Isaiah Rashad Tells All
TDE artist Isaiah Rashad is enjoying having a day named after him in his hometown of Chattanooga, Tennessee but after earlier this year of being outed as gay he sat down with Joe Budden to describe the aftermath.
Isaiah Rashad sat down with Joe Budden for an exclusive interview after a leaked sex tape outed him as gay earlier this year. He opened up for the first time to Budden about having suicidal thoughts, the pressure from his family and peers, and the impact that the scandal would have on his kids. Rashad struggled to find the words to describe what it felt like to lose self-worth and acknowledges often feeling alone in a room of people.
“I go through these highs and lows from feeling like invincible, to feeling the worst,” he told Budden in the intimate conversation.
The car accidents mentioned above weren’t the only times the “Headshots” rapper attempted to harm himself. He discusses self-inflicted cut marks from his youth, that are now covered with tattoos, and avoiding high-rise buildings to prevent suicidal attempts.
