Ykee Benda Opens Up About Depression And Pain Behind Music Silence

Singer Ykee Benda has opened up about the personal struggles that pushed him away from music and public life for nearly two years.

Speaking on NBS After 5, Ykee Benda revealed that depression, stress, sleepless nights, and personal battles involving his son fueled his long silence.

According to him, the pressure became so overwhelming that doctors eventually advised him to reduce stress for the sake of his health.

Behind his silence, Ykee says he was quietly dealing with emotional battles that many people around him never fully understood.

One of the most emotional moments from the interview came when Ykee revealed that he has not seen his son in two years and does not know where he is.

Despite acknowledging mistakes in past relationships, he said he has always considered himself a loving and present father.

The singer also spoke about growth, healing, and learning from his past instead of allowing it to define the rest of his life.

My past should not define me and I am trying to walk better than I did before.

Throughout the interview, Ykee spoke openly about protecting his peace and focusing on becoming a better version of himself.
