Wale is speaking up on the importance of mental health in hip-hop.

Earlier today (Aug. 8), Wale shared a clip on social media where he speaks on mental health issues that he’s dealt with in the past. During his conversation, the 34-year-old rapper reasons that record deals should encompass mental health insurance.

“You’ve gotta remind yourself who you are especially with like celebrities,” Wale stated. “People — Monday everybody– you going to bed, looking at your comments everybody telling you you’re the greatest and by Friday everybody telling you that you fell off and you’re the worst. It’s difficult. I think that record deal should come with mental health insurance to be honest. I think it should be part of it.”

As the years ago on, hip-hop has witnessed artists speak up on mental health including Kanye West, Chance The Rapper, Kid Cudi and more. Back in 2016, Cudi checked into a rehab facility for treatment. In a heartfelt letter, Cudi revealed that he was facing his issues head-on.

“I am not at peace,” Cudi wrote. “I haven’t been since you’ve known me. If I didn’t come here, I would’ve done something to myself. I simply am a damaged human swimming in a pool of emotions every day of my life. There’s a raging violent storm inside of my heart at all times. Idk what peace feels like. Idk how to relax. My anxiety and depression have ruled my life for as long as I can remember and I never leave the house because of it. I can’t make new friends because of it. I don’t trust anyone because of it and I’m tired of being held back in my life. I deserve to have peace.”

In more Wale-related news, the “Lotus Bomb” spitter believes that he’s one of the greatest rappers of all time. “I said what I said . Let me double down right here at home on MY page . I love you … and even you,” he wrote as his Instagram caption.
