Wale

Wale opened up about his social anxiety on Twitter in 2019. He announced the name of his then-new single would be, “I’m not really good at social events cuz everybody hates me in my mind."

His single didn't end up coming out with that title, but the sentiment of the tweet was something everyone with social anxiety can relate to.

When you have social anxiety, you feel like everyone hates you, or everyone is making fun of you sometimes. You can be walking down the street, and feel like the people walking past are having a conversation about you. This must be very hard to deal with as a rapper when you've got to deal with hate on social media every day, making this paranoia feel true.

Wale did admit the social media hate did make things worse. He also mentioned therapy wasn't for him. But Luckily, he says the fans who have come up to him in person have been very friendly.
