Music industry legend Tedd Josiah has pointed out that men, need to cry, once in a while, to deal with their emotions.

Failure to which they use destructive means to cope with their emotions.

"Ever wonder why there are so many men in clubs getting drunk beyond? Ever wonder why they show false bravado and are extra nonchalant with their emotions and feelings? Why they don’t cry 😢? Cause big boys don’t cry?" Tedd wrote on his Instagram.

"It’s simple. Weakness is crying, weakness is showing ur emotions for anything other than football, weakness is being afraid so show false bravado & be “strong” for the weak are lesser men..."

The music producer then dropped some wise words.

"Ladies this leads to your man bottling things he should be speaking to u about and they will come out in one-way shape or form... Emotions cannot be slept away, brushed away, wished away or deleted."

Adding, "It all begins when our boys fall off their bikes as toddlers and we tell them 'Get up don’t cry cause big boys don’t cry'. When they don’t do so well in school and we tell them 'Man up u can’t be a failure you must beat everyone else or ur weak.'.”

I’ve seen this over and over and at 13, 15, 18, 25 and now in my 40s I’ve seen good men take their own lives because the people they loved outsourced the 'let’s talk' to a psychiatrist to sort and they bottled up and blew up in suicide. Were they weak or neglected and ignored?"

Tedd then continued,

"There’s an age I’ve not mentioned cause at that age (30s) men have developed so much false bravado that they use coping mechanisms to deal with these things like infidelity, alcoholism, barbaric behaviour and violence... those who have no conscience continue with it but those who wear their hearts on their sleeves find it a tough road and still end up bottling up cause ur wife don’t want to hear ur nonsense... Your pals will think you are weak... Your parents will wonder 'Why isn’t he strong like his father...'."

He concluded, "Look out for ur boys, they become men and their emotional well being is as important as their books, careers, money and wealth..."

Here are some reactions from his fans.

kesh_faidah: Deep and meaningful conversations... Thank you, Mr. Tedd... As we raise our son, these words are life to our journey... Emotional well being...

jeffaganda: True but too much suicide at age 30's id because expectations are really high for me at mid-'30s. I am actually 35-years-old. Been through horrible times can't lie. The trick here is to hang around with positive people and God whom I call Jah above everything.
