Mr.
Logic, manager of the late Dancehall artiste Vybrant Fire, has opened up about
the intense mental struggles the musician and the team endured before the
musician's tragic passing.
The
manager claimed that when it was revealed that Vybrant Fire would face his
untimely death, both the musician and his management team were filled with
anxiety and despair. Although much was done to avert the tragedy, he asserts
that as soon as the news hit them, they instantly became mentally unstable.
He
revealed these details in an interview on 3Music TV's Culture Daily when the
subject of celebrities' mental health was being discussed.
“Before
Vybrant Fire died there was a prophesy. It was prophesied by a certain spiritual
man saying that he will die and he will die by accident. I mean he told us. Right
away it’s like a mental issue. Because once you are told this kind of prophesies
you begin to always think that somebody is about to die. We wake up every morning
trying to prevent death. So the artiste himself was going through this mental
issue and we the team were going through it. We were all mentally unstable.”
He
went on to say that mental distress is a way of life for creatives and
entertainers and that the condition receives little attention. According to the
artiste manager, performers must recognize that the route to success will not
be easy and that they must be prepared and fit to deal with disappointments
that may cause emotional pain along the way.
“It is an everyday thing we go through in the space. Now if you ask me how do we prevent it? It’s just an individual thing. You need to be able to psych yourself to believe that and also to understand that things will never be the same. Things will not always be how you expected. Nothing is permanent. You need to psych yourself and understand that the road will not always be smooth. Once you are able to understand this part of life, I think you will be able to prevent some of these things.”
