He closed that post with the words: “Good evening. Enjoy the land.” It was followed by one where he simply wrote, “You can have this planet, I am out!” Consecutive feelings had fans on social media worried over the weekend that Cannon might be considering self-harm or suicide.
Now, mourning the shocking loss of a friend to suicide, Cannon has revealed how dark his thoughts had become.
“After waking up and barely rising from my dark contemplation of continuing my physical existence on this planet, this mighty warrior really had the balls to do it,” Cannon wrote of San Diego rapper Ryan Bowers, whom he had signed with his label.

Cannon spoke about the police who shot Bowers and who spent months in a coma before leaving and entering the studio. Still, as he and Cannon were developing their music, Cannon says Bowers told him, “Everything still hurts.”
Revealing that Bowers had attempted to take his life “several” times before, Cannon lamented that he was “so engrossed in [his] own shit “he wasn’t there for his friend.
“Once again, my brother, you have put this world in perspective for me,” Cannon wrote in the midst of his long tribute to Bowers.

I don’t know how many “friends” @NickCannon has, but I know it’s time they SHOW! That man needs someone, and with his friend committing suicide, and the things he is taking out, if FWH, then you must also worry … 🙏🏾

I know that we currently live in a society when events occur and we are so quick to forget about them. But, @NickCannon, you were very concerned today. We support you brother and your life is precious. Please don’t think about committing suicide, king. We love you!!! 💪🏾🖤

Saying a serious prayer for @NickCannon with his own idea of suicide and now someone close to him actually committed suicide … please don’t let this be what pushes him to the limit … Lord, open your eyes and your man’s ears … the devil is working overtime in 2020

@cthagod @MeekMill @tip @ KevinHart4real @JoeBudden check your brother @NickCannon his posts are very dark and the last one almost glorifies his friends suicide is very scary. It is very important for culture and the world needs it. Too many truths to say without apologizing.

May the peace of God be with you. Peace my brother. With all that he has accomplished, know that your children should never have to see / hear him say “he is contemplating continuing his existence”, they love ❤️ and need him here. Peace Nick, peace.

This hurts me on a level I’ve never felt before … I never met Nick, but I’m sure he’s a family … I was born in 92, so Nick, I grew up watching you on the nc show, all of that and first ep from WIO. so relieved to see him post something other than man

Man … I can’t begin to imagine what you’re feeling and what you’re dealing with. Stay strong, I know it’s easier said than done. Better days are yet to come. You have to believe that. 2020 is just FUBAR. Do not lose hope. ❤️😇🙏

Damn, sorry for your loss, man. I’ve been where you’ve been It takes all your strength not to, but it’s worth continuing. Everything changes, nothing is static. By now next year, you could be having the best time of your life. Don’t shorten it.

Tears are falling. Sorry 4 ur loss. You are a beautiful human being Nick. It seems Ryan felt it was his time a long time ago, but as fate would have it, the Lord took him home. The pain you feel now won’t go away, it just won’t go away. That’s what your family will feel, so don’t let it go.

🙏🏼 for you and lil bro. Please stay in this world. There is much to come, but we all have to work to bring it to fruition. Your energy is needed here Nick.

There is the man I saw grow. I hope you are talking to someone about your own contemplations of existence. That is a cry for help. People’s resilience tank can be punctured by their personal kryptonite. You can only do that. You did a lot for Ryan.
