Ghanaian artiste, MzVee, has opened the lid on the events that transpired while she was depressed.

The songstress, who went into a dark phase for a year when she was with the Lynx Entertainment group, revealed that she nearly quit music for good because everything around her at the time was mentally suffocating.

She stated that she had no idea that the strength to make music would return to her eventually. Looking back on the events, the 'Natural Girl' hitmaker narrated her ordeal but did not disclose what the problem was exactly.

“Every workplace has problems so I won’t sit here and pretend that there was no problem. There are problems everywhere, there are problems at home, at work, everywhere there are problems so yes definitely back and forth anytime but we always found a way to come to an agreement but the reason why I left was that I just couldn’t contain the depression.”

“In 2019, I took a yearlong break from music but I didn’t know I was going to come back. The depression was very serious so with all the thinking all that came into my mind was that I was going to stop the music because I was just done. I wasn’t even thinking straight then. All I knew was that I was not ok so I just needed time off so I just went off the scene," she said.

“I’m the type of person who doesn’t speak up much, I don’t share my thought with people because I’m very to myself. When I was growing up my mother will say Vera you, I don’t know what you are thinking. I can come from school straight to my room, I was very by myself.

"Secondary School, from dormitory to class. It’s just how I’ve been because growing up we were in a very strict home and we weren’t allowed to have friends and play around so I was antisocial so sharing my thoughts with people is not something I never knew how to do so anytime I had a problem, it was all on me and then it compiled to a point that it was just driving me insane”. She said.

“The only person I could talk to was Richie. So as for Richie in somewhere 2017, we had the discussion and I told him that I think I will be stopping the music soon because he knew I was going through something. So 2018, end part of 2018 when I told him I’m going to stop, he was like he knew it was coming so that was it. He didn’t want me to stop but that was it.” 

She concluded that she will be more focused on her fans now as they offer the type of encouragement that she needs to survive.
