He previously told New York Magazine, he was ‘in such a bad head space’ when he first became successful and used to think everyone was ‘out to get’ him.  

‘I was in such a bad head space. It’s so overwhelming to be successful. And that sounds like such a s****y thing to say. But it’s like, how do you keep it going?’ he said.

‘How do you sustain success when you don’t even really know why you’re successful? Dude, it was the worst. I’d break down in tears once a week. I used to think everybody was out to get me.
