Morena Mothoana, a Westonaria rapper, better known as Fits SA said it’s best to be yourself and real rather than a fake.
With his latest single, Juss wanna die, Fits SA revealed the truth about who he is and the personal dilemmas he had experienced at a young age – he also wants to help those who are on the brink of considering suicide, saying it is not the only way out.
Fits SA said his single will also guide young people in the right direction and bring across the message that they should not mix with the wrong crowds, nor sacrifice their talent or future in the name of being ‘cool’.
The song captures the essence of my problems when I grew up. I suffered many bouts of depressions in high school. I always sought to be popular and get approval from others,” he said.
This was detrimental to his well-being as he became scared of being himself and feared being judged. He added that trying to be someone he was not took a toll on his sense of self.
“It was only this year when I realised I had been living a lie.”
He said unlike those who take their own lives while facing such miseries, he decided to write down his emotions to express his ordeal.
“My message through this song is even if you feel like you’d rather die, don’t give up yet. It’s only a spur of the moment thing and it will pass. This song is dedicated to those who may feel suicidal, to not succumb to the thought, to regain their mental strength and find peace and enjoy their lives forever,” Fits SA concluded.
