Singer Kehlani Parrish reflected on life after her suicide attempt during a recent interview with Power 106’s “The Cruz Show” in Los Angeles. The Oakland, California, native addressed the drama that surrounded her relationships with fellow singer PartyNextDoor and NBA star Kyrie Irving. “I think it was a combination of things,” she explained. “I think, one, the response was insane. Two, I think people forgot I was a 21-year-old going through the biggest heartbreak of my life. It was tough — it’s still tough. On the flip side, there’s not too much that can hurt me now.”
As for the rising star’s upcoming release, the “Gangsta” recording artist revealed she’s adding the final touches. “I’m definitely in the last part of it. I’m in the final run, I’m doing all the tweaking and bringing in people to give me opinions,” she said.
As previously reported, the Grammy nominee revealed she attempted suicide on Monday, March 28, 2016, amid rumors that she had cheated on her boyfriend, NBA player Kyrie Irving, with her ex-boyfriend, PartyNextDoor, whose birth name is Jahron Anthony Brathwaite.
“Today I wanted to leave this earth,” Parrish wrote via Instagram, alongside a snap showing her in a hospital bed. “Being completely selfish for once. Never thought I’d get to such a low point. But.. Don’t believe the blogs you read. No one was cheated on and I’m not a bad person… Everyone is hurt and everyone is in a place of misunderstanding. But as of today, I had no single wish to see tomorrow. But God saved me for a reason, and for that … I must be grateful. Cuz I’m not in heaven right now for a reason. On that note. Bye Instagram.”
Meanwhile, it appears the singer is spending her free time keeping a close eye on the 2016 election, revealing she’s not a fan of Hillary Clinton or Donald Trump — but emphasized the importance of voting. “I think everybody needs to stay updated on it,” she said. “I don’t necessarily approve of either [candidate]. I feel like they go get drinks afterward, ’cause they both on the same agenda. But at this point, guys, we can’t let it be Donald Trump.”
