Megan Thee Stallion has become a renowned mental health advocate by opening up about her personal struggles on her path to stardom.

The Houston rapper sat down with actress Taraji P. Henson at the Boris Lawrence Henson Foundation’s inaugural I Am the Table Benefit Brunch in Maryland on Sunday (Oct. 12), where Megan got emotional recalling her journey and the moment she realized she needed therapy.

“Through all of that grief, I was just working and trying to be the best Megan I could be,” she said while getting choked up. “And I didn’t know I needed therapy until one day, I was just like, ‘Damn, I’m really sad, and it’s really scary how sad I am.’ And it was like, I didn’t care what happened to me. And I didn’t want to feel like that, like I should care about my life.”
