Starz “Black Mafia Family” Star Da’Vinchi is speaking up about mental health and how it has helped him push forward in life!
The BMF Star just debuted the second season of his hit Starz show and the premiere was received well by the public and now he’s getting a little deeper with fans and sharing a more vulnerable side of him.
Speaking with Complex, the actor shared:
“Well, right now I’m in a great place. I’m in a great mental place, thank God. I’ve seen the therapists before, and had conversations like that. I have a good circle of people around me. I think adjusting to fame, which I’m still not adjusted to, that’s probably one of the most difficult things I have and will ever go through in my life. There’s no ingredient to fame. There’s no bible, there’s no way you can deal with it properly. Personally, I don’t think we were meant to be famous on this type of level, because when you think about it, when you’re famous it’s like you’re omnipotent, you’re ubiquitous. It’s like you got a fraction of God’s power. You could be in multiple households at once and only because of this box that multiplies you—this television screen, this iPad screen, or whatever device you’re on. You become a God in a way. The side effects of that are just wild—how people perceive you, how people look at you.
There are always side effects in whatever you do, and I just think with fame we’re still figuring that out. I was not bred to deal with a lot I’ve been fortunate to have. I was not bred to play ball on this level. With all the trauma that I’m used to seeing, that didn’t prepare me really to be here. It fucks with you, and it’s a lonely feeling because you don’t know who to trust. I’m finding my way and then keeping my little circle tight. It is really tough, but I’ve been managing for the most part. I meditate a lot, I pray a lot, and I stay to myself a lot. I keep doing what got me here so I don’t lose touch and lose sight of what I really want to do with all this. But it’s tough, man. You got opportunities and access to any and everything for the most part and I have never been one that wanted a lot. I never wanted all the fancy cars and all the fancy jewelry. For me, it’s like I could literally have access to whatever I want and it’s kind of scary.”
