Aminé, 25, has been open in some of his music about struggling with suicidal thoughts. In particular, his song "Dr. Whoever," touches on that. In a past interview with Billboard, he revealed that talking with his mom has really helped him. "When I hear her voice, I'm very much connected with my mom and this idea of losing her would be the end of the world for me," he said. "What keeps me going or keeps me wanting to do more music is knowing that I can provide for my family, make them happy."
He says in his video for Seize the Awkward that people see his career as fun and think artists like him could never struggle with their mental health, but he deals with the same issues "Taking care of yourself and making sure you don't always feel alone is kind of the most important part," he stressed. Having a friend recharges your soul, he said, and he'll call them out if they don't want to talk about something they're going through.
