Some time back, Lady Jaydee came out to say that she was thinking of committing suicide. The legendary Tanzanian singer took to her social media to reveal that she contemplated taking poison.

Jana nilihisi kunywa sumu ila kabla sijafanya nikajisuta na kujikumbusha nilipotoka na kujiuliza nitakuwa mjinga kiasi gani 😔😔 Nikajisikitikia tu kisha nikaacha. Na leo bado nipo kigumu gumu ila bado nipo 😉

Her tweet got her fans across East Africa worried about the state of the "Siku Hazigandi" hitmaker. For the first time, she has opened up about it. She told LilOmmy that:

I don't think a tweet like that can make someone give up. There are people that i looked upto in music who had done bad things, they had fallen, they went through trouble. But that gave me strength more than weakness. Like Whitney Houston, who is my number one. If she decided to get into drugs, I haven't gotten into drugs.

Adding that: "If anyone decides to get into something by following a bad example, then that's their decision, they shouldn't blame anyone. You are the one to choose what's good for you. There are things you do that turn out to be lessons."

And what had really happened on the day she decided to share the twee?

First of all, I apologize. It was just a tweet. I choose not to talk about it.

Her tweet came weeks after the Queen Of Bongo hitmaker

The songstress’ mother Martha Mbibo succumbed to death in Dar Es Salaam after battling cancer for a long time.

She had been admitted to Muhimbili National Hospital before being discharged after feeling better. Until her death, the deceased was being attended to at her home. Jaydee wrote:

Kila nafsi itaonja mauti, huyo mwenye Ndala yake ambayo wewe mtazamaji utaizoom na kuiongelea na wewe mwenye smartphone pia 🙊

During the preparation of the funeral, the Yahaya hitmaker took to social media to appreciate her family and friends for the support.

“Napenda kutoa shukrani zangu za dhati sana kwa ndugu jamaa na marafiki wote mliohudhuria msiba wa mama yangu mzazi Martha Mbibo

——————————————————————————————————

Kuwashukuru mmoja mmoja ni ngumu na haitowezekana kwani mmejitoa kwa hali na mali kuhakikisha bi mkubwa anapewa heshma yake , lakini niwashukuru baadhi kwa majina ———————————————————————————————————

Kwa kuanza nishukuru Media zote za Tanzania kwa kumpatia Mama heshma , niwashukuru watu wa kanisa la Wa Adventista wa Sabato kwa kutufariji pamoja na Choir….

Majirani zake Mama Kigilagila-Kiwalani na familia yangu na ukoo wangu kwa ujumla , kwani tumepambana wote kumuuguza Mama.

❤️🌹🙏🏽🙏🏽🌹❤️
