In the year 2020, we have lost so many creative minds and artists on the rise. One of the lives the industry lost in 2020 was Chicago rapper, King Von, who was murdered outside of an Atlanta nightclub after a dispute with another rapper.

Since his passing, Asian Doll has been very vocal about her pain and grief at the loss of her ex-boyfriend. In an upcoming episode of Peace of Mind with Taraji Asian Doll shares what it was like once she heard that the love of her life passed away. In the 20 second clip, Asian Doll explains that once she found out about the passing of King Von her “whole world just crashed.”

“I had never felt a feeling like that. It’s like I was just broken,” she stated.

Asian Doll then describes her and King Von’s relationship prior to his passing. She explains that at the time, her and the rapper weren’t on the best of terms at the moment. I want to say like six days before he passed away, we had broken up and I was real hard on him. I was not trying to see him. I did not want to see him at all.”

In the preview of the episode, Asian Doll describes King Von as her soulmate. “It was more like a soulmate. It’s like dang I met you before, like how I feel so connected to you?” She also tells Taraji that Von was her first real boyfriend, her first love.

“It is ok to feel. You loved that man and he died suddenly. He was taken in a senseless murder. You know that’s not something you just push through and try to cope with,” Taraji said to Asian to comfort her.

If anyone can relate to Asian Doll it would be Taraji P. Henson, who lost the father of her son, Marcel, to murder back in 2003.

You can catch the full episode between Asian Doll and Taraji P. Henson on January 4th at 12 PM EST on Facebook Watch.

Taraji P. Henson Reveals She Contemplated Suicide During the Pandemic

Taraji P. Henson Reveals She Contemplated Suicide During the Pandemic

The coronavirus pandemic affected everyone differently and Taraji P. Henson reveals that she contemplated suicide.

The actress is open about her struggles with depression and anxiety, and said that she had a “dark moment” in recent months.

“For a couple of days, I couldn’t get out of the bed, I didn’t care. That’s not me. Then, I started having thoughts about ending it,” she said during her Facebook Watch series, Peace of Mind with Taraji.

The 50-year-old bravely shared that the negative thoughts came to her mind “two nights in a row” and that she owns a gun that she keeps locked in a safe.

“If I could go in there right now, and just end it all ’cause I want it to be over, ” Henson recalled of her thoughts.

“Thought about my son [Marcell Johnson], I said, ‘He’s grown, he’ll get over it,’” she continued.

Like many regular folks, Taraji P. Henson saw herself struggling with depression as she complied with the mandated COVID-19 lockdown. “People were calling me, I wasn’t responding. I didn’t care,” Henson said.

The Empire star told a friend about her mental state and admitted that she felt “ashamed.” “I was like, ‘I don’t want them to think I’m crazy.’ I don’t want them to, you know, obsess over me or think they gotta come and sit on me,” Henson said. “So one day I just blurted it out to my girlfriend. She called me in the morning and I was like, ‘You know I thought about killing myself last night.’”

She added that it was important for her to express her thoughts before it becomes a plan. “At first it was like, ‘I don’t want to be here,’ then I started thinking about going to get the gun. That’s why when I woke up the next morning, I blurted it out because I felt like after a while it was going to take over me and it was going to become a plan.”
