AKA's mother Lynn Forbes took to her timeline to give AKA props for his courage to speak out about his mental health.

“One thing about me, I am not shy to express how I feel. I have checked myself into a mental health wellness facility. I haven’t been OK for the past few months. I have been so depressed. I have decided to fight this by taking a break and dealing with this one on one,” he wrote.
