Bobbi Althoff Reveals Her 14-Year-Old Suicide Attempt in NLE Choppa Interview

Bobbi Althoff bravely revealed a deeply personal part of her past in a heartfelt episode of her podcast, The Really Good Podcast. During her conversation with rapper NLE Choppa, she opened up about a suicide attempt she made when she was just 14 years old.

The conversation turned to what she was doing at Althoff’s age when Choppa asked her what she was up to at that age. “At 14, what were you doing?” he asked. She replied, “I just started high school, I was just going to school.” Then, with a sombre tone, she added, “Oh, I tried to kill myself when I was 14.” Choppa seemed taken aback by this turn in the conversation but tried reassuring her that the podcast was a “safe space” for such discussions.

It wasn’t only a jaw-dropping revelation but also underlined how much openness is required in terms of mental health. Althoff’s openness to the floor allowed for real conversation, which she and Choppa expressed as one of the major themes in that episode.

NLE Choppa, a rapper known for his music and his openness about his mental health, responded with the very human touch of empathy. After expressing his surprise at Althoff’s admission, he becomes very supportive, which allows her to open up on issues of self-destruction as well. “I ain’t gonna judge you, I tried to kill myself before, too,” he says, drawing on their shared experiences. This type of understanding can be hard to find, particularly in public discussions, and it resonated with many listeners.

That moment was more than a shocking revelation; it focused on the critical need for open discussions about mental health. Althoff’s openness sets up this meaningful discussion—a theme that she and Choppa return to throughout the episode.

One could not help but notice how candid Althoff was about her past. When asked what made her think that way, she said, “‘Cause I didn’t want to live.” Choppa got teary-eyed and said he was so glad she made it through that period.

“I’m so glad you didn’t do that,” he said. Althoff smiled and said, “You wouldn’t know me now.” That one line encapsulated the heaviness of her past and a strength she’s found along the way.

Choppa took a minute to address some of the broader issues that young people face today in his community. He says that too many in his community always focus on what they don’t have and tend to compare themselves with others who, by all appearances, seem to have it all. “We looking at them and they going through the same shit,” he said, encouraging listeners to realize that everyone has their battles.

The conversation also centered on self-confidence, a very dear subject to Choppa’s heart. He spoke freely on his self-image, stating, “I just feel like, on my life, if I was to look at me? I’m just confident in my features.” His light-hearted yet honest comments about the essence of self-love came across well with the audience, reminding them of the requirement to love themselves for who they truly are.

The conversation between Althoff and Choppa has created an online wave of discourses relating to mental health. Most users on social media platforms commended Choppa for his soothing tone, indicating how really critical it is to share such conversations. The fact that Althoff realized the need to speak up in her struggles should stress the point that one does not have to face these situations alone; mental illness affects many people, and sometimes all a person needs to do is speak up.

Her delivery is often described as dry and nonplussed, setting her guests into sometimes awkward situations that prove full of fun.

She quickly pivoted to celebrity interviews that had gone viral, one of the most memorable being with Drake; she gained over nine million views before it was taken down. That momentum with guests has been a huge key to her rising popularity.

However, the couple filed for divorce in February 2024, citing irreconcilable differences.

Her openness may encourage others to do the same, hence creating a community able to provide support to those requiring it. In a globe where psychological health is most often shunned, Althoff’s bravery ought to be considered by many.
