That was a whole lot of pressure for a high school kid. I don’t think I ever realized how young he was. Salute to that young man for his success.

The saddest part about all of this is you can tell he is a great and kind spirited person not a lot of rappers are like that . Wishing that man the best.

Honestly some of the music he’s put out in the last few years is pretty good. Its frustrating that people say that panda/timmy turner are his only good songs

To say that his mental health is tragically destroyed based off a death grieving video is a super reach. He will be fine and is doing better than most

Let's not forget he owns at least one apartment building in NYC and he suspended rent during the pandemic.

It's really sad that kanye went through that with Dame and Jay Z and turned around and did it to designer

As a 28 year old barely getting my music started, I'd like to hug Desiigner and tell him, "My guy. You won once already. Peak or not, just keep going as long as it's what you want to do. As long as you're making enough for a living, that's a victory on its own right there. You have nothing to prove. Nobody cares. And that's the great news."

Desiigner is a real one, he deserves more.

Desiigner is sane in a crazy world

2016 was a such a fast paced era, everything was booming on social media, the culture, music, everything!

I love desiigners personality. Panda came out my senior year of high school. They played it at least 5 times prom. I feel for him. I hope that he will make a comeback & can become better mentally. He deserves to be happy ❤

I met him in 2018 and is an extremely kind soul. He was so enthusiastic and energetic. Last thing he told me was “god bless” and since then I’d tell that to everyone even though I’m not so religious. Hope this man will be okay and wish him the absolute best!

The industry is not your friend. He learned that the hard way

People are more worried about this dude that they've never even met before than they are about their own family or the people who are close to them.

@17:15 he wasn’t lying about putting on a show for military bases in Korea . I was there. The show was amazing. Only 200 people came to a basketball gym. He performed like it was 20000

Empathy is such a concept in this world we live in . We put too much pressure on these artists/celebs to give us hit after hit as if we perform under the same circumstances in our own crafts/talents. They are after all people like us and instead of extending grace, we put them under a microscope and super judge their crafts, emotions & behaviors brutally. Just let them be, hit or not. Give people space to grow as they go on their journeys. Peace & good mental health is far much important than any other thing in this life.

He blew up before he gathered a fanbase, his fast downfall was inevitable

He'll be OK. If he just keeps allowing himself to grow and feel, he'll be just fine. You can't keep putting out platinum ablums at 17. He's gotta go through love, hate, pain, laughter, joy...he's gotta live to put thoughts to paper, to a record that people will listen to. Just live baby and believe in yourself like never before. Good luck...

Not just deaths can cause a mental breakdown but breakups of a friendship or a relationship. We need to check on one another.

Even though Desiigner has the happy personality. He expressed the mental struggles he dealt with, especially how all of a sudden he had Self-Delete thoughts that scared him when he was younger, which is why he has a lively and happy personality. So the Takeoff breakdown isn’t really surprising

Timmy turner’s beat is my absolute favorite beat.

Survivors remorse is real. And so is ptsd. I salute Desiigner and got lxve for dis man

He's seems like a genuinely gentle soul. Thanks for this video, just made me a life long fan of Desiigner.

A rapper/musician can never manage another rapper/musician

This is what i'm talkin' bout. Having a conversation about a person's mental health is SO hard for people. But it's absolutely what needs to be said. As creators we gotta set the example for folks to start having these conversations.

Dang his story is sad. He has such great energy. I wish Ye would have invested in him and helped mold him in a positive way. Designer could have been a movement all by himself. Minus the drugs of course. So young, so talented, and not moved by the $$$. Such a waste not to invest.

I hope he resurges and gain more success 🙌🏽 All the stuff he went through emotionally most of us faced it during our adolescents.

DESIIGNER WAS BORN IN 97' 😳 I never realized he was so young. I hope he made bank, because that level of expectations and pressure can be crippling. We don't want another Silento situation, hope he heals

16-in school 17- hanging wit millionaires Never knew that man was really a kid his mental health deterioration started when he felt alone around his team when needed them and seeing how the industry really is to a kid who really didn't kno anything about music but to record...cant blame a kid who really didn't have guidance and wanted some guidance in the industry

I hope designer is okay he's facing a lot lately 😪

That’s what happens when you let yourself be defined by your success rather than who you truly are. Social media is poison. Everybody shouldn’t have the power to publicize their opinions. Words hurt people.

I ❤ his energy , hope he's ok and makes a huge come back . Good luck and God Bless ❤

He is super young and still has time to grow. He has learned alot and has a story to tell. Hope he is able to bounce back and keep doing what he loves.

The music industry is 99.99% political. Once people understand that they will be keen to recognizing when someone is for you and when someone isn't. Usually they aren't for you , but that dosent mean they can't be valuable to you.

We gotta support Desiigner and show him some love while he’s still here! He put out a fire ass song called Diva a while ago, go check it out!

Being alone is much different than being lonely, your good no matter what when alone, but it’s heartbreaking to be in a room full of people and not have any connection. Same as someone people don’t see as living with depression because from the outside looking in they’re always smiling and upbeat…..but behind closed doors they shut down. Look out for one another my brothers and sisters show them your LOVE NOW❤❤❤

I am an avid mental health awareness advocate and spoken word performer, and though this is tragic, I love this video so much. I travel the country trying to bring that awareness on stages, in classrooms, hospitals, and on my KZfaq channel, so I get excited when I see other advocates.

This was a really good analysis, yassine! I'd like to see you doing more content like this. Longer form content like this legit 🔥

Mental illness is real. Have compassion for those who suffer with it. ❤

Ngl he really got bars..

If deiigner passed away tomorrow the industry would be saying how much they loved him 🤦‍♀️

First time I saw/heard this man I was so impressed, so much raw energy and exuberance the way he was flowing was so 🔥💯

This is so sad 😢 I really liked him a lot, he’s such a vibe. I really hope things can get better for him and he can make a comeback he’s actually so talented. This is a good video btw, I like the way it’s wrapped up at the end the lesson is so true.

It’s hard when your out here alone 💔

I love designer as a human. Very good human being with what it seems a good heart

Even @ 17, he was doing to much on stage. Like a hyper active child, I think that harmed him forever. I feel for him coz he did need guidance, not just from Ye, but the whole good music camp.

I’m really pleased on your take on this. You showed respect. Many thanks. 👍

I wish him all the best, This guy has a good character and a great spirit 🔥✌

I think he’s fed up with how the game treats us. Ngl he got put on by his idol and dropped like nothing he watched his friends die for nothing like nothing. I don’t blame him being done it’s toxic environment and all we do is condone it and justify it. It’s dumb how someone so positive can get dropped like that but king von who only talked about assaulting our women and killing OUR people is such a poet and gets justifiable comments even when he died because of HIS actions. The game is lame ngl and we def gotta do better

Bro you just shined a whole new light on designer...one that I never really knew existed or would have saw on My own. I can fully respect and get behind this. This was well done content as usual but now designer has one more fan/supporter. Rs 912

Awesome video bro keep dropping more docs like this I enjoyed it. Can you do one on sheckwes next ?

kanye talk about how he’s mistreated but ye mistreated him, should’ve been a mentor

People can live comfortably for the rest of their lives off of one major hit. He’ll be fine even if he’s not “hot” anymore 🙄 Everyone falls off at some point.

I think you should really change the tittle out of respect to Desiigner. He's human just like you are. Also New English was insane, lit as hell ON GOD. If yall didn't catch that go peep now. He never deserved to be left out like we doin him. He's consistent and a great soul. Why can't he get his flowers now? If he died today yall would be saying how amazing he was. Cmon bro.

remember a lot of friends goofing on desiigner, even saying he couldnt rap when designer was peaking, but he always seemed like a legit dude and I always lowkey vibed with it back then, I took some time and listened to some of his 2022 singles and he can do something really cool but for now it seems like he struggles to find a style he can really call his own and I think, at the moment, its what hold him back. Also that instagram vid about takeover is fucking real, glad to see someone like him deliver it raw, its much needed.

Im ngl he never gave any reason for us to dislike him. Sure Panda got annoying, but bros energy was always upbeat, he seemed like a fun to be around. I feel bad

A lot of people don't realize that the flow and panda changed rap music all I could hear was that "saying everything on the downbeat" type of flow he had to it. It was so good the first time I heard it I know that if I was a player in that industry I would have been mad jealous

He ain't crazy he just from New York

Designer is talented and I loved when he first debuted. His fame was cut short because the industry and people behind him did not back him up. It goes the same with all artist, if you get lucky to have people behind your corner, your probably more likely to succeed. He was young and his quick fame did not allow him to have the experience to move forward into pursuing his career. Regardless I'm glad he has put out good music and I know he will pursue to do so in the future soon... 💜♥️

Weird how politics, marketing, and how you move overall is often times just as important as the music. Also I’d love to see more interview style content, like the interview you did with Adam 22 or 24k golden

Now he's arrested for snakes on a plane 🐍 ✈ 😮

The conclusion really hit. Fake love is real. Wish people stopped praying on others downfall.

I love your take and on this situation. Thank you

Outlet was sooo fire. Easily his best song yet I guess nobody felt that way. I used to blast that shit and get so hype

Overnight , Molly, and Liife were all fantastic songs. Desiigner was better than most he just blew up way too early and his peoples didnt push him like he was. I feel for him losing everyone, Takeoffs and PnBs death were out of nowhere and really tragic. Gunned down in front of loved ones at public outings, its heartbreaking. Then seeing Desiigners reaction is more heartbreaking. I hope he finds peace and stops with social media tantrums. He backed down from the Est Gee beef which makes me think hes still a humble dude. Just needs a big brother like you said and some TLC like we al do. Stop killing my guy please

So all the people who bully him I wish nothing but the words for them on top of that this young man is still making money so all the insults and disrespect, I hope they kids come out with problems it ain't popular cuz he's a human being he don't have to look like a certain way or talk like a certain way to be accepted I really like this dude. 👍🏾🙏👆🏾🔥 PERIOD!!!

Can you do one of these on Famous Dex, I recently have seen that he’s sober and his music is starting to improve a little

No one is even talking about how Good music took advantage of him because of his age 🤷🏽‍♂️ Kanye never had any intention of helping his career you see Travis Scott eventually said f it and took a chance on himself he had been popular since 2010 and didn't get his first big push until 2014/2015. If desiigner would have remained independent or at least had people in his corner who wanted him to succeed I think his career would have been differently especially knowing Big Sean and Kid Cudi also had similar dealings with that label.

That's sad. Kanye is only about Kanye. He obviously only wanted to use Designer.

I always liked desiigner style and attitude he was different and that's what made his music good. Plus his personality is like a 12 year old having fun that was part of his charm...I believe he can come back

I've been a Desiigner fan since Panda and I still listen to him. The singles he's been putting out the last 3 years are really good in my opinion and I think they deserve more recognition.

Great expose, I appreciate, always knew he was a valuable artist and real person. Independent scares and angers people... look at all those rappers gone... Desiigner,, you are blessed, you will overcome. That game you are talking about is the game of this life unfortunately. We see that everywhere. Thankfully, God is good, God is Great. Stay with Him and those who love Him and You. 🙌🙏❤️

He’ll be alright. I’m sure he’ll be back. He got the natural good energy. As soon he worked his personal problems out, his creative blockade will be gone.

I wish someone would do a deep dive into my declining mental state

I hope this young man comes to learn that things like genuine love, appreciation, adoration and acceptance...........is rare. Yes! It is a norm to expect specifics (even from strangers). But the reality of receiving that which is profound, is a blessing that Life bestows (whether by way of a person, place or thing). Don't expect the likes from anyone..........doesn't matter who you think or see them to *be. I wish him well......❤

I wish his career blossomed more during his peak I remember replaying New English Over and Over and Over again when it dropped and really expecting it be bigger than it was what a shame

Respeck to the dude, a truly one hit wonder hall of famer 👏

Man, I'd like to get to know the dude, not only because he clearly enjoys making music and has a love for it, but, because of his energy. Fuck gaining clout, certain types of people deserve actual friends and shit not the industry friend shit.

"Appreciate them when they can benefit you, forget about them when they can no longer benefit you, and appreciate them and wish you could have done things differently when they're gone" This sentence really is powerful

This real cool and extremely big of you to do this for Desiigner. 100% selfless support very cool

HY I'm digging the new thumbnail style

I like this. This gives me more insight and admiration for Designer. Thanks.

Man I love all of this!!

IMO that New English project had some heat. Problem was that a lot of songs were like rough drafts. If he had dropped his album right after then he would have continued his hot streak

This guy is living a dream worth millions, and we're sapose to cry for him ? Celebrities have no idea what real struggle means for everyday real people.

This to much pressure for 😢someone who's lost inside they self 😢this game if it don't kill u it kills who u r

I love this video thanks for this interesting breakdown of his mental state

I thought he was 19 when Panda came out. I remember when that dropped, and the DJs and everybody was playing it. We was thinking, yo Future made a hit...very catchy song. I was like, mann...not the biggest Future fan, but this joint right here is 🔥 I was doing party promotions at that time, so the DJs put me on to him 1st. I'm like where you found him from? They like its not Future...his name is Desiigner. Some new artist. I was like OK. Song is 🔥 Everybody was tryna book him now. Then Ye signed him, put the remixed version of that and Ye song together and put it on his album...and more ppl learned about him.

I would also go mad if I had that major success,Hanging around celebrities then boom in a span of 6 months all that is taken away from you..grow musically to produce awsome music but people downplay you as they only say ur hit song was the best

I love the dude...I’ve never seen a happier person..success never changed how bright his smile was...it is well with him and I believe he’s gonna make it back ontop 🔈💪🏾💪🏾

Never really look him up always just thought he was a one hit wonder but I am super happy you did this video he has definitely been miss judged imo I think he should start his own label and be that big bro for the new artist don’t let them go through the same things he did.

Desiigner was so lit bro I always would see him and wished I had that energy

You should do one about rich homie Quan ,especially after his recent interview

Man this brings tears to me... The price of Fame, and Fortune. What is it for a man to gain the whole world and lose his soul..

Keep your head up young man!

I still remember the happy designer running through Central Park playing Pokémon go …when you couldn’t understand a word he said hahah better days

He so young, he just needs to chill, vaca for a bit, then comeback like Andre3000. Being around too many people can be draining/toxic, in-line and in the real world.

💕💕💕💕 Much love Designer Keep growing 💪💪💪💪

He's a chill nice guy..wish him the best in life along with all of us

I remember Dj Khaled telling the story about how he told T-Pain to charge for features and Pain responding with “they’re my friends.” Once Pain fell off & went broke, no one reached out….ironically T-Pain now pssssh when Khaled’s name is mentioned
