Relax Y’all, Chipmunk Didn’t Kill Himself
British Superstar Chipmunk, whose number one hit “Oopsy Daisy” has garnered over 4 million views on YouTube, says he’s back to good health after leaving suicide tweets on Twitter.com.
The rapper, who turns 19 on Nov. 26, is said to be struggling with his down low lifestyle vs his public image as a bad boy Hip Hop star. It was that inner struggle that led him to leave alarming messages on the social networking site, which said “I Want to Die” and “is suicide easy?”
The messages caused a huge public outcry in London, but fans were relieved after Chipmunk made his first public appearance there earlier this week at Rihanna’s London Nokia concert. This is another reason why labels need to restrict their artists access to social networking sites like Twitter.
His record company previously said:
“Chipmunk has been working incredibly hard on generating a successful music career which has taken its toll on such a young artist.
“Label and management have agreed to cancel all upcoming promotion and personal appearances to give him some much needed time off.”
Doesn’t the female singer in this video sound just like Rihanna?

Yes she sounds a little like Robin…..and he sounds like a British version of Sean Kingston….. who knew he was on suicide watch
any way glad he didn’t do it.
I’m sorry who?
Well whoever he is I’m glad he’s ok.
Ahh…I’m not even going to pretend that I know who Chipmunk is..I’m glad he’s alive though..suicide is never the answer.
Never heard of him, but glad that he’s doing ok. It’s kinda scary to think that he is/was on suicide watch when he’s just getting started with his career.
Who?
I hope he’s getting the help he needs…
WHO???? I hope ppl around him are taking this suicide threat seriously.. geesh
Sandra you’re opinion on his inner struggle is a mess.
Iscream, looking out over the sea, if you see this are you gonna wait for the new peeps to finish reading for the book discussion or did I miss it?
mad that I fell back till it calms down like someone said yesterday, the ones who really want to be here will stay and I missed the charles/monica convo.
I may be wrong … IMHO … anyone who writes suicide notes on twitter and/or facebook is doing it for attention.
This why Motown had it right. They need to reintroduce the workshops they require these artist to go through before the INSIST on letting them be famous. Also, this is 2009 since when does being gay or rumors of being gay stop a rapper from being FAMOUS……..Hell, it seems to help!
WHEW. glad to hear he was okay i was sooooo worried.
Who??? I hate twitter, myspace and facebook. I hate to see people put their lives on display all the time.
I know at this point saying it would be redunant but ummmm who?
Chipmunk . . . we in the States wish you well.
Hey! Your Significant others and Your record Company should Mandate that you seek Professional help!
Put the Career on HOLD . . . for Now
GBO
Can you take a rapper named chipmunk seriously??? im just saying
If you REALLY wanted to kill yourself you would just do it.
I think labels should ban twitter for their artists. Although its the next best thing in remaining close to the fans. It is not serving the greater good. Artists are twittering wayyyyyy to much and have a compulsive urge to mistakenly spill the beans on some things.
Just like the NFL banned it during games. Labels should implement some control. At the end of the day $ needs to be made. Not taken away because of a mis-twitter post. OOPS!
Correction: They wait for sympathy to push HIS song onto THE charts.

Hey Waterlily_76
You are so right. He wanted some attention for whatever reason. Well now he got it!
Who? but I pray he gets the help he needs cause he has issues>
I hope they don’t give him any more access to twitter.
Okay….Umm I’ve never heard of him but I’m glad he is in good health and may God bless him.
……….so he gay too? Sandra who AIN’t on the DL to you? i’m convinced you tryin to scare women…into switching sides lol…you doin a good job.
How can you be a bad boy hip hop star if your stage name is Chipmunk? Things that make you go hmmmm?
Chipmunk?? Made me think of the cartoon.
@ libramd, yeah can’t no one seriously with that name.
Like when I recently heard a guy tried to rob his employees with a dust buster.
But good to hear he doing alright.
Chipmunk? I’m not sure who that is
WHO??
Never heard of em. Glad he’s straight tho. As for the downlow lifestyle. How is it downlow when everybody already know about him? He’s lucky to have a music career. There’s gay rappers in the states that wish they could be him right now. He should just roll with it as long as the people love him he’s straight.
I know I’m late, but…who dis man?
Kwall…I really don’t like you
@ Kwall: Sorry, I meant to add that you are about to get me fired. I just laughed so hard at your comment. You are going to hell. Hell I tell ya.
