Diam’s is finally back… or almost. After thirteen years of absence from the media, the former rapper chose to make her comeback through a documentary in which she retraced several periods of her life, including on when she wanted to die.
“You have to understand that I touched madness with my finger. I was mad. I lost my mind. I was shot by drugs that turned me off and then disinhibited me. When I find myself in a psychiatric hospital, I can only talk to a shrink for twenty minutes a day, whereas I want to talk for five hours! I feel like I’ve come back from death. I should have been dead. Generally, artists are no longer there to tell us why they fell into addictions, like Amy Winehouse, why they shot themselves in the head, like Kurt Cobain. If I hadn’t opened the Koran one evening on a beach in Mauritius and found meaning in my life, I think I would have really fucked myself up. At that time, I was still fighting for my people who were telling me hang in there. But me, I had the impression that everything was in vain“explained Diam’s in the columns of Parisian.
During this same interview, Diam’s was also able to answer a question that torments the most curious: how does she currently live financially and above all on what? “From what I earned at the time. My mom who worked at a record company handled things well for me. I was not in need” specified the interpreter of The Dumpling.
