She shared her story on “Growing Up Hip Hop Atlanta.”
“Literally the other day I had somebody DM me on Instagram,” Buku said to her mother. “She said that she wished you would’ve been stronger and I was like, ‘My mom made the strongest move in the world by leaving him.’ Like, if I get a negative comment or people come at me, delete. You’re blocked. I’m not even reading it.”
“I get that all the time,” she continued. “People don’t realize how bad…Sorry, guys.” She stopped because she began to cry. “People don’t realize how bad that hurts, because it’s, like, I didn’t do anything, you know? I didn’t ask to be here….We’re still trying to heal from a lot, like, a lot, a lot, to the point where I almost tried to take my life. Like, that is heavy sh*t. And then to turn around and be like, ‘Oh, you should not feel that way. You’re selfish for feeling that way,’ it’s just, like, y’all are really heartless.”
