Rapper Styles P’s daughter committed suicide last month. He broke the sad news on social media:
I rarely speak on my personal issues and i usually express my pain the through music but today I will share a little with you last month my wife and I lost a daughter and my son lost a sister . My baby girl took her life and there are no words to describe the day to day pain we have to endure and maintain through but in dealing with pain you find yourself dealing with the creator and asking questions and going through emotions most would not understand. So I’m taking this time out to express a few things to y’all because life is short and we are not promised tomorrow. I like to deal with simple math I know I am 180- 180+ but im trying my best to live on the positive side of things . I have truly tried to live up to the code of being a gentleman and gangster to fullest of my ability. I have been chasing the dollar bill since I was 12 years old I hustled I worked legal jobs and even manage to make my dream of making it as a rapper come true I have popped bottles before it was the thing to do , I have owned beamers, benzos , rovers, trucks etc etc etc I have lived in the ritz ,owned condos , houses traveled a lot of places etc etc etc but I can honestly tell you don’t none of that shit add up or equal to love!! I have lost my brother , father , aunt , grandmother in law and too many good friends/ brothers and now my daughter!!!! But the only thing that can be done is to leave it in the creators hands . But I wouldn’t be me if I didn’t take this time out to say from the most humbled part of my heart and soul to say to yall that the dream most of us chase is not !!I repeat is not !!more valuable than the love you get from your family and friends it may seem like it is but it ain’t they print money and make material shit everyday but once you used a love one that’s it the spirit is with you but you will miss the physical and Won’t be able to speak to them how you want to until you get home to the other side. So I just want to tell yall keep it family 1st and don’t get lost and lose your focus the fam is way more important than anything else …. We lost a daughter but gained an angel . Love is love ..ghost
What? I rebuke this demon, I was just saying please not death stories today.
Aww man….Prayers go out to Style P’s family. Please anybody thinking about suicide, take a second and think past that second; and call somebody…take it every 30 seconds, if you have to but take those seconds to think.
Praying for Styles and his family
This is so sad! ? It breaks my heart. She’s around my kids & nephews age Life is so short & you never know what internal battles folks are fighting . RIP ?? ??
Was it that hard for him to simply say GOD???? anyway, condolences.
This dude is my fav and this is absolutely heartbreaking. RIP to this young lady. Hopefully she is at peace. Condolences to the family.
This made me tear up. Depression and mental illness are real. Too many times we shame people and tell them they’re attention seeking when they do reach out. Much love to his family.
I read this on his IG yesterday and was sad for him and his family. Explains why he wasn’t at the BET awards too.
That step parent love can and sometimes is just as big and just as fulfilling
This story tug at my heart strings.
This post is really hard for me & I swear nobody says anything ignorant ?
Condolences to Styles P and his family. RIP Tai Hing. A beautiful young lady. I don’t know what she faced that seemingly overpowered her. I was scrolling thru my IG when I saw this story. It was the kick that woke me up frfr.
Dang – I grew up in church and I think that when a person has faith as their foundation they are able to get through trying times a bit better – not saying this girl didn’t but all that suicide is a sin talk really sunk in for me and even when I’ve had those stop the world I want to get off moments I never contemplated ending my own life…. my heart goes out to people who suffer depression….

Is it that hard to open your mind to think that maybe he doesn’t believe in an omnipotent, omnipresent, and omniscient being? Maybe he believes in a creator. Point. Blank. Period.
Thankfully I have lots of work to do today, maybe he didn’t write God. Unfortunately we don’t know this man’s heart. Sometimes you don’t have to say God, Jesus, Prayer, Holy in public. The man is in pain and he’s reaching out about his loss. My prayers go out to him, family and friends that loved her. We live in said time, were people are so judgmental. I’m thankful he said something and maybe someone can use this as a dialogue to help the young person in their life.
Butter get out my head. MAUH
Everyone knows I am one of the truest hip hop heads to ever roam the earth. I have been a Lox fan SINCE DAY UNO. Since they were the daggone Warlocks! But being a fan aside man…this has broken my heart on a whole ‘NOTHER level. I have been here at my desk shedding TEARS over this and his statement for FIVE MINUTES.
GOD BLESS YOU STYLES. And your family.
Lord have MERCY.
Girl I’m glad you said it because I couldn’t word it nicely
Amen! I don’t think Honey Dip would be closer to or love Lil Butter more if he had his DNA.
Nah, I don’t think anyone will. I stopped by my uncle’s house yesterday and he too was saying he wish his brother (my another uncle, I have like 10) would get help for his depression. He hasn’t been the same since his son was killed in 2012. Depression is real and we all appear like we’re ok, but deep down far too many of us are hurting and in emotional pain.
+1. You my hip-hop head sis for real, yo!!!!! This is just awful.
Jesus ……. People it’s okay to seek therapy …. lord ….. this is terrible and yet another depressing story …..
This man may have been crying out to Jesus all night long before he took the time to write those words, as I said in the last post, we live in a cruel place.
I can’t speak for those who are suicidal, but I don’t think those who suffer from suicidal thoughts think about what’s to come. Where they are at the present is what consumes them. For some, it’s too much to handle, and they want to get off the ride. If they could think about where they could end up in the afterlife, they would be able to also understand that trouble don’t last always *shoulder hunch*
Sorry, my petty couldn’t resist
So sad. Take time to call your loved ones. Encourage them to seek help. Pray for them. Cook them amral. Watch their kids. Recommend a therapist. We have got to stop not doing anything.
I was going to say something then stopped myself. If you read ALL of that and that’s all you had to say then Bless your heart.

“What? Kinda hard to not, go on a murder spree
Paintin niggaz burgundy, put ’em to surgery
Go kill they family like the sh)t was a urgency
S.P. is back, call the state of emergency.”
With lyrics like that, it’s no wonder his life is full of darkness. I can’t imagine having a parent that glorifies murdering people’s families. Wow!

seeking outside help – therapy – is so stigmatized in the black community….. I think most black kids today suffer PTSD and that’s why they are so blasted suicidal… when I grew up kids played outside – now people put their kids in programs and if they can’t afford to they keep them inside cause nobody trusts anybody… social media is fanning the flames cause once something goes up people look at it as 100% fact and its hard to live down… I wouldn’t want to be a teen growing up under the scrutiny of social media…teenagers brains don’t work like adult brains… they’re highly impulsive…

So Joe Jackson, the patriarch of the internationally famous Jackson family, suffered a stroke. We all knew this was coming sooner or later. I admire folks living beyond 80 and still getting around. I hope he makes a speedy recovery.

That’s why you have to let your little light shine, boo. You never know when you may come across someone in a very dark place, and you provide them just a glimmer so they can start to dig themselves out of that dark hole.
*Queues one of my favorite youth choir tunes, “Jesus is the light that shineth in me…that shineth in me. He’ll show up in me. He’ll show up in me….” *

I knew some small minded individual was going to google then copy and paste his lyrics. Not the uplifting the black man lyrics, or the education on us as a people lyrics but the Hardcore lyrics. This has nothing to do with his child taking her life.
I wish I could wake up and Daquan was gone!

I was just passing through. Aint got time to play. But read this ONE post and one other, and it is a hot mess far as the comments.
Some of you folks need Jesus (or whatever your Savior is…. as I am RESPECTFUL of the beliefs of OTHERS), a hug, and some therapy.

I agree with your theory…. although outside therapy is uncommon for African Americans there are some that have come to the light…… I think if more African Americans (that do seek therapy) were honest with those that maybe dealing with mental angst … we could see a change in that …. but a lot are scared of admitting they see a therapist … unfortunately…. or could be afraid of how they will appear to others … <<< this ideology leads me to think of other mental ailments within a person…. but that's another story…. either way untreated depression and any kind of mental instability can fester other additional mental problems

Hey boo and I feel you. I was already sad but these people commenting on him not saying God or talking about his lyrics do not take away from his family’s tragedy.

“Ugly” people often run from mirrors.
You cannot serve two masters. You can’t profit from death and dispair, then turn around and preach love and light when darkness descends upon your door.
The world has no mercy for hypocrites.

It probably was if that’s not who or what he believes in.

CORRECT hun. My thinking is: Why would he say God? He already had to sensor himself it seems…and say creator… when I am almost CERTAIN he believes in Allah. I aint got time to do the education. But I am almost 100% certain Styles P is a Muslim. He said it in I wanna say “Rainy Days”. Folks can do the education on THAT. Pull THOSE lyrics. Folks so damn ignant.

TMZ said he’s blind. Well, he’s had more than 80 years of life. The party has to end at some point.

I hope you’re shaking your head at the irony of Mr. P’s lyrics and his daughter’s unfortunate circumstances.

No. I’m not.
My goodness…prayers and condolences to the family.
Allah is arabic for God. Muslims say God all the time. Speaking of education.
Then shame on you.
Oops!
I know this. I have converted Muslims in my family. The man did not feel as if he wanted to SAY either WAS my point. He obviously did not feel comfortable claiming Allah OR God. If he didnt say Allah… obviously he didnt want to say God was MY POINT. And now we see WHY. Religion gets folks in an uproar for NO REASON. Good day to you TOO.
Oops back to you. Find you some bidness.
Right now, commenting on these stories IS my business. ?
rip
God bless him and his family. Sadly a lot of people actually do value shallow material possessions and money and the flashing of those things over family and love. It’s sorta the American way. God bless us all.
; It is easier said than done. Praying for his family. When someone does this to themselves those that care about them are left wondering why. You blame yourself and anybody around when ultimately it was their decision not to be here anymore.
& his name is GOD. Point blank period.
His name is GOD.
His name is GOD!
His name is GOD. Good day to u too!
His name is GOD!!
Oh, you’re one of those types. Noted. Take care https://uploads.disquscdn.com/images/e6553bd22273930f0470dfb995a1499882a22ce82404aebb99fb2200646b7c0c.gif
Okay hun ….
Or Allah or Yahweh or Jehovah Jirah…..etc. Why are YOU so mad?
He’s a 5%er
I love your soft shuttle..bam in your face style..lol
I find it odd that he chose to speak out publicly now. If anything, I hope someone out there who is considering suicide will read what he wrote and consider the pain they will cause those left behind. My condolences to his family.
Ummmm he is called many things..Excellent, Counselor, Wonderful, …what’s your point again..you knew who he meant..
The devil is raging. …ya’ll stay prayed up..rip to lil shawty
So terribly sad. Prayers to him and the family.
You know those people walking around muttering sweet nothings to themselves and others. Don’t pay no mind. Let what’s his name handle it.
My heart goes out to him. Yes depression is real. I’ve fought that battle for years but still I rise. When someone is going through it they need to make up their mind that God put them here for a purpose. Don’t let Satan steal your life from you. Keep fighting and most of all, get professional help. Too much stigma attached to mental illness and that needs to change.
Well then..that explains it.
My stepmother is evil……lol but good for him accepting them as his own.
Suicide is a sin? What church is teaching that? Suicide is the result of mental illness. This is one of the reason why there is such a stigma in the black community with mental illness and seeking help. Mental illness should be viewed just like any other medical condition. When my brother died from cancer at the age of 30 it wasn’t because he didn’t have faith or didn’t pray hard enough. Chemical imbalance in the brain is biological. As such depression should be viewed as a medical condition and suicide is a consequence for untreated or badly managed depression.
uhhmm the St. James Bible…. murder is a sin taking ones own life is murder… not my words get mad at King James or whoever translated it…
its one of the 10 commandments up there with fornicating and honoring your parents….
What’s really going on with these suicides?
This is sad. Depression is a REAL illness and the black community needs to be educated and embrace it stop calling people crazy and get your loved ones help the same way someone has an addiction or has cancer depression is an illness . Especially amongst Black Women whom are to hard on each other and mothers are to hard on their daughter constantly telling them to be strong, everyone gets weak and should be allowed to cry and deal w their pain. Slavery really messed us up as a people. RIP styles daughter
GOD is a title dig deeper..for his real name.
Mine is too… or was; we cool now that she realize I’m the only one that gives a phuck!
I’m so stealing this euphemism. My honey dip says my communication is filled with passive aggression and sarcasm rounded out with a go-eff-yourself. Yeah, I like the way to described it better.
It’s terrible to hear this. Just….
Oh my goodness, my friend died in a car accident Saturday.
Saw his girlfriend today…
Too much tragedy going on, so many deaths
I struggle with depression and suicide myself everyday and I believe I’m gonna lose my battle to depression just like this. The difference is I have no family no friends and life is ten times harder with nobody in ur corner I dnt know why God wants me to suffer by keeping me alive but I honestly hate life I hate myself for being born different and I just want out and sad to say but it’s gonna happen just like this. may she r.I.p she doesn’t have to suffer anymore but I do
I just wanna die I swear I do
I know all that…but, these idiots don’t….
Apparently I didn’t. If he had of just simply said his name, I would’ve.
Me? Mad? No, just sick of this dumb ass sick minded world we live in.
God Bless…………………..R.I.P……………….
Monica, please do not consider taking your own life! Don’t , please!! God loves you and know that whatever it is you are passing through is only temporal. Monica, there is life after death which is eternal! If you take your life which as Christians we believe is an unpardonable sin how will you be able to cope with being in hellfire for eternity! Think about this,please!!! As for not having friends and family, you can always join groups in church or your community. You only have to leave your heart and mind open. God Almighty will definitely grant you all that your sweet heart desires through Christ our Lord. AMEN.
Also note that there is no human being in this world without one or more problems he or she faces daily. We are have our own cross! The difference is ability to put our faith and hope in God to see us through it!
THIS is beautiful
Question: If someone catches a seizure while driving, hit someone and kills the entire family…is it murder? See where I am going?
Wow this is very heavy ? may God bring all these families peace
I can’t believe you all got so caught up in your opinions that you forgot this man lost a daughter PLEASE STOP! hold your head David
It sure is sad ,how in the hell did u miss that? Anyway its so serious depression I truly know what that feels like ,I suffered from it ,and attempted to take my like years ago ,today I know to give whatever I have no control over to GOD and trust that it will be OK U have to believe,trust, and talk to GOD
She committed suicide in June….
Sandra, why do you think all of these black people are committing suicide?
I’m gonna kill myself an nobody is gonna stop me. What’s crazy is God knows my heart and sees me suffering yet is keeping me somewhere I dnt wanna be its like God wants to see me unhappy unloved not worthy and just laughing at me in my face that really hurts. I’ve never hated anything or anyone more than I hate life. Some people suffer more than others and I’m one of them my mom gave me up at birth so I’m just all messed up now. It hurts even more when ur totally alone in life and I just can’t suffer anymore my heart is crying out to be free of this place. I look online for different ways to commit suicide and I’ve tried a lot already I just need a gun or just hang myself. God does not care whatsoever and I’m tired of crying
I just wanna die and be wit my grandfather
+1
RIP. Perfectly stated.
WOW SO SAD.
