Budding musician Stoopid Boy has come forward to share the harsh reality he’s facing after leaving a rehabilitation facility. Despite high hopes for a fresh start, he says his life has become more difficult than before. The artist, known for his song G Bag Na Jug, expressed frustration over unfulfilled promises made to him by people who once claimed they would support his journey to recovery.
In a candid interview on Ghetto Radio, Stoopid Boy disclosed that many individuals pledged to help him land opportunities post-rehab, but have since disappeared. He now struggles with feelings of paranoia, depression, and isolation. According to him, he expected to have a stable living situation and perhaps a job, only to end up back in the same environment he fought so hard to leave behind.
He revealed that when he agreed to go to rehab, his motivation was to create a better life for his mother and children. He believed that by completing the program, doors would open for him — especially from people who had promised job opportunities and support. However, the reality after leaving was far from what he envisioned.
“Right now I have paranoia. I am also suffering from depression, being alone. I feel I was badly used. I am angry because of the fake promises I was given. I knew when I left rehab I would have my own place. Then I was told I will be living with some man,” he shared emotionally.
He recalled being placed under the care of someone he barely knew, with plans for him to return to school eventually. However, he mentioned that during his stay, he was mistreated for making what he describes as a simple mistake. The experience left him feeling disrespected and abandoned, further contributing to his current mental state.
Stoopid Boy added that he had hoped to start a small business selling children’s clothing or at least secure a basic job to sustain himself. Instead, he feels stuck and misled. “If they gave me a job after rehab, I wouldn’t even be on the internet complaining. Rehab only makes you more depressed, and the doctors know it. When you leave that place, you need something to do,” he emphasized.
His remarks have sparked mixed reactions online. While some users supported his honesty and expressed empathy for his situation, others felt he needed to take personal responsibility and stop blaming others. One comment read, “This guy should learn that he is responsible for his health, finances, and the decisions he makes.” Others defended him, saying it’s brave of him to speak up about his pain and struggles, especially in a society that often dismisses mental health issues.
Stoopid Boy’s frustrations come just days after the person who initially helped him get into rehab publicly distanced himself from the artist, stating they are no longer working together. Though he offered to fund one last music video as a farewell gesture, it seems that wasn’t the long-term support Stoopid Boy had hoped for.
Despite everything, Stoopid Boy continues to hold onto his voice — both as an artist and as someone trying to reclaim his life. His story sheds light on the challenges many face after rehabilitation, especially when society isn’t fully prepared to reintegrate and support recovering individuals.
