Lupe Says He Had Suicidal Thoughts Due To "Nothin' On You"' Success

Lupe Fiasco was the actual owner of "Nothin' on You," which later became B.O.B's hit with Bruno Mars.  
He tells the UK’s The Guardian, that after his version(RM wasn't around yet) did not live to the label’s expectations that he contemplated suicide. NO GOOD...



“That was the tipping point. It was less about the bruised ego but more the audacity of it. It was mentally destructive. I say it with a certain laissez-faire now because I’m past it, but back then, hearin’ that s**t, it f**ked me up. I was super-depressed, lightly suicidal, at moments medium suicidal – and if not suicidal, willing to just walk away from it all completely.”

He's already stinkin rich, so what if the song became popular? It's not like B.o.B is still relevant like how Lupe is.
