The 29-year-old had worried his followers with his behaviour on
social media in the past, with the police called to his home
following a suicide threat.
Uploaded at midnight on the evening of the 19 June (19:00 BST),
his latest YouTube video, titled I’m sorry, featured Etika walking
the streets of New York.
In the film, he apologised for pushing people away and confirmed
he suffered from mental illness.
He also talked about social media, advising “caution” around
using it too much.
“It can give you an image of what you want your life to be and
get blown completely out of proportion,” he says.
“It consumed me.”
The original video was removed but copies have been uploaded by
other YouTube users.
