So incredibly proud of my friend for opening up this conversation & putting in the work to heal. This is why her music is so pure. Love you Lila
Much Love For Naomi From Zambia 🇿🇲🇿🇲🇿🇲
I cried when she sang that song. She's so gifted. Praying God's protection and comfort over her and her talent. This was really good
me too woww🥰
It is refreshing to see someone so open about their life with mental health issues. It is not an easy road but the acknowledgement of it gives one the power to work through it. Blessings and light to her and to you for always giving a safe space for such openness
Trully beautiful Woman with such a wonderful bless3d gift.
Lady please continue to hold up your head and pray. Continue to stop the Social Media thing and stay strong within yourself, please God Almighty bless you with all you have so gwarn Big Up Yourself. We love you sameway.

One thing abt this show is...
They listen ( actually)
Lila can't imagine how her own history helps me with my own mental health. She just inspired me to be stronger in one of the hardest moments of my life
That's the idea, keep strong yourself, one for all, all for one, each one encourages the other.
True that, blessings. I hope you overcome whatever you're facing .
Tears come to my eyes when I see how brave this young lady is. Mental health is no joke and I'm happy to see her assisting the healing by letting it out and cudos to you Yendi for giving her a safe space to do it. The gems from this interview are - you have to support people, put their well being first and nothing diminishes your worth when you speak your truth. God bless you Lila and continue to shine - yuh talented bad!
I've been checking Lila's social media daily worrying about her. I'm so happy that shes doing well and have a strong support system. I work out daily and listen to her music every single day. I love everything about her and pray gods guidance and blessings upon her. Great interview Yendi!
I was worried about her too.... I'm so happy to see her still choosing to live.
Thought out was me alone 😭
@@natashaphillips4806 this is an old video just being released lol
@@Tye710 how yuh suh hype? Wham to yuh!?
🥰
The first time I heard Lila's voice, I was struck by a certain energy that was just unexplainable. I could feel the connection she has to every word she sings. She truly bares her soul in her music and I am so grateful for that. I'll forever be a fan. Big up yuh self Lila. A true G.
I know
This has just broken so many Caribbean stigmas. Congrats to both parties involved.
You should be ashamed to type that. Why it has to take a "famous name?"...pathetic.
@@sunninghill6025 It's okay that we share different views on this topic. Please choose to respect others perspectives that differs from yours. Spreading negativity doesnt change what has been stated, I'm not ashamed and I stand by my statement. Has nothing to do with the people envovled but the story that was told thank you have a blessed day.
@Keisha Girl GTFOH, trying to label something "negativity" doesn't mean it is. Disgusting!!! You need to be respectful and back up. There is NO justification to play around with mental illness out of the desire to support any cause. That's the problem "story", not truth that was told.
@@sunninghill6025 This is your point of view and that's okay. Have a great one. God bless you.
Absolutely love Lila's transparency and humility.
Transparency lol. U a eediat?
😂😂🤣🤣
What's funny?
@@yannapositive she has no humility from she eat front and mix with other females
Keep deleting my comments they are nerve touchers fr
Respect to Protoge"
He is definitely the angel that was sent to her.👍🏾
He is a good man.
The benefit of a great mentor or coach.
The same thing I kept thinking throughout this. Protoge is 'The Man'. A real, strong, vastly intelligent and beautiful person who is clearly living a special truth.
Big up Protoge. Nuff Respect. Nuff Love. Thank You for taking care of our Lila. And being such a strong, beautiful and gentle source for her.
Also, taking nothing from the fact that...She has an outstanding, fortified and resourceful team around her, and that in itself is a Blessing💞👌💝🤟🍀
Couldn't agree more!
God Bless him and his team.
People first every time.
Proud of you Lila 👏🏽. In Jamaica mental health issues are considered shameful. You are helping so many people find strength to seek help by sharing your truth. I love you and love your music. I'm a forever fan. Blessings!! Thanks for this interview Yendi.
If Lila (Alicia) is not a living gift from God 🖤💚💛 ......Jah know. Thank you Yendi for providing a platform to showcase this brilliant example of a human being. Blessings to you both🙏🙏👏👏👏🔥🔥🔥🔥
I remember the first time I came across the whole concept of living in the present (mindfulness) and I was so amazed at how calming it is. The Bible says Matthew 6:34 is “Therefore do not worry about tomorrow, for tomorrow will worry about itself. Each day has enough trouble of its own' The Bible teaches everything 🙏🏽❤
Thank you for this reminder, I needed this. God bless you🤗
This definitely blessed me, your interpretation has brought a new perspective on the scripture itself, thank you 🙏🏾!
@@satoyaspencer2215 Thank you 🙏🏽 May God continue to bless you and shine his light on you always 🤗
@@mlti-lyrd. You are most welcome 🤗 God bless you 🙏🏽
She reminds me so much of Eartha Kitt. I love Lila Ike. Continue on your healing journey, all the best.
I thought I was the only one who thought so, she's like Eartha Reincarnated.
I literally broke down after she started sharing her fight with mental health issues. As a registered nurse who experiences it firsthand with my patients, I know that it is hard. We need the support of not only our families but the nation altogether. It's time we remove that veil of the stigma keeping persons with mental health issues hiding behind a mask, and openly accept and offer our support to them. 💛
So proud of Lila. I literally started crying when she started to sing. Such a sweet soul 💛
"Piece of mind...thats all I need/seek to find"......Lila you will be just fine. Love you girl.
I didn’t know that I could fall in love with Lila more than I already was🥲❤️
I'm impressed with your display of compassion and humanity in providing a safe space for your wonderful guest, Lila. She is a wonderful human being.
This is such a powerful story. We see the face and have no idea what people go through. May God strengthen her. It takes a lot to come on social media and open up about such personal challenges. I love her positivity. Thanks Yendi for sharing this!
So true, love her so much.
This is one reason why we need to be kind to each other. Everyone is fighting something in life, no matter how small. Life is a constant struggle...
@@bebebe1354 So true.
Mental health issues are real and I think Jamaica needs to highlight these issues more and address them properly.
There aren't many outlets and support out there for persons with these struggles.
Society is too quick to judge persons and cast them away.
Yendi oh Yendi! This episode! This episode! Lila Ike…where do I start! Big Lila Ike fan here! Really respect her! Lila bared her soul and brings up this valid, current, and relevant topic of mental health! Mental health is not taken seriously in Jamaica and also in other parts of the world, and our mindset must change. Thank you Lila, you are such an inspiration and motivator! Just know that you are loved! Thank you Yendi, you just keep rising stronger❤️
I love her transparency, I've never actually listened to her music but I will check it out. As someone who is living with Bipolar having a strong support system and knowing possible triggers are key. Being away from home Yendi and MTM are two positives coming out of Jamaica that I actually enjoy and they drown out the negativities. Love this 🥰
@Felicia Free I did and I was not disappointed at all. They are now on my playlist
The voice...the voice...her voice resounds DIVINITY!!!! So much heart and emotion!!!!
From the first time I heard Lila Ike, I fell in love with her music and personality. I.m so happy to know that she is ok and has started her healing process. I wish her Peace and Happiness.
That song made me shed a tear too. Thank you Yendi for this interview. Nobody does it matter than you, trust me.
Yendi's growth and Ika"s strength. Profound. Great interview.
Listen nuh man, this interview is a message I didn't know I needed. As someone who has been diagnosed with bipolar then yrs later to be struggling with anxiety I totally understand the difference that having someone around that can identify these episodes and be there for you
Another reason why we must be kind to each other. Just never know what someone is going through...bless her heart for speaking out...
Refreshing & Relevant......I just witnessed a revival........Lila is alive and moving.....she is music, she is magic, she is a mental metamorphosis!!!!!!.Yendi, thanks for bringing this to us with skill, sensitivity and solace.🇯🇲
Listen! I just love lila. Tears man…So proud of her, in all she is as a woman and who she’ll continue to be. Lovely interview!
Strength to you Lila. Like Yendi said, your diagnosis changes nothing or diminishes anything you have accomplished. Love & love alone.
Something else I got from this that no one has commented on is the stellar human being that Protoje is. Do you know how many people in the music industry abuse and exploit? but Protoje is a man of character and integrity. Thanks Protoje for taking care of the mind and heart of our musical daughters who bring us so much joy.
@@Tye710 didnt see but fair enough...the more comments about how he showed great integrity with these young women, 🙂 the better
Lila's reaction when she got that "A word!" Was priceless.
🤭🤣 she watches the programme and wanted the word🤣
Yendi please know that this role you are playing has far greater reach and impact that you can ever imagine. Lila mi ratings fi yuh did tall, but now dem buck. Big respect for showcasing your journey on this platform. You are definitely helping many with this powerful interview.
This is so pure and refreshing. A big fan of Lila Ike. Well done Yendi for providing that non judgmental atmosphere that allow your guest to just relax and be themselves… I almost get the feeling that this was therapeutic for Lila Ike
It felt like a therapy session, For Reals. I know I felt better, afterwards. Lol
How wonderful Leisa
As I have suffered with Bipolar Disorder myself, I knew as soon as Lila started discussing her personality I knew she had bipolar disorder. It is so hard never being able to reach your full potential. Having so many creative ideas but being stuck within your head. This is made me cry. Then to deal with this within the music industry will bring about so many triggers.
Honestly Lila been my artist since she came out and after watching this I have gain so much more respect for this warrior all I ask is that the great creator cover and bless her so she can in turn bless us with her powerful music that inspire all of us
These are the conversations that the people need and we got it! Thank you Lila for staying true to your truth and thank you Yendi for being the vessel to help bring these truths to the light! God bless you.
Glad to see her coming back to herself . Big up and respect to Protoje . Men who develop and support women, need to be highlighted and Honoured. RESPECT and thanks brother .
TRUTH!!!!
I am not one to comment on videos, but this one right here is a whole gospel! This girl is the realest G. I hold her up in the light of love and grace and peace of mind and every good thing life has coming her way. I just love her energy, wishing you the best Lila. Yendi dah one here so is your best yet! I don't know if this was your vision for this space but my girl you deserve a 'safest space' award!
I have had to pause this at 32 minutes in; just to absorb the depth of it. This is an excellent interview. Lila is speaking from the depths of her soul, and Yendi is an amazing human and excellent at her craft. When the camera pans to her you can see that she is really listening intently; genuinely to everything that Lila is expressing. This is just beautiful and so authentic to watch.
This was such a soulful interview. Lila, you are gonna be ok. You have some wonderful angels around you..
Much big up to Protoje, you are mentioned about 10 times in this interview and it’s obvious you have been a wall of strength to this beautiful soul…. Wish I could tag you directly… much respect…
wall of strength what, to tell her to tun lesbian?
@@antoniobaret7928 ..Your worried about whose in her bed we worried about the music she releases...her bedroom business has nothing to do with us.
@@empirethang go away with yu nasty lifestyle sadamite ... Reggae Music stands against all evils so sadamite cant sing about righteousness cause it is the righteousness of Reggae that exalth the Jamaica nation learn dat
@@empirethang she informed the public that she a lesbian and lesbian cant sing about righteousness thats the foundation of Reggae Music, go away yu is a little nastiness
@antoniobaret Keyboard warrior in comments talking about righteousness/ what reggae stands for, and spewing hate same time. Hypocrite foolishness
Thank you Yendi and Lila for normalizing and having conversations around mental health in Jamaica. This is often seen as a taboo topic which a lot of people (sadly) don't take serious until you're eating off of a bin. Our medical professionals need to also know that not all mental health issue/s is/are drugged related.
My eyes cannot contain this, Thank You Lila! Thank you Yendi. This is exactly what I needed this morning. I love you both and can't say thank you enough for all that you do. I cannot wait for that new song ❤❤❤❤❤❤🇯🇲🇯🇲🇯🇲🇯🇲🇯🇲🇯🇲🇯🇲🇨🇦🇨🇦🇨🇦🇨🇦🇨🇦🇨🇦❤❤❤❤❤
same here... what part of canada are you in in Quebec
Love how transparent Lila was in this session. I also love how Jamaica is now bringing more awareness to mental health.
I've been searching for signs of her online for weeks. I'm so happy to see this interview. Her music is so beautiful, and her vibe so beautiful. Sending you love and sunshine Lila. People all over the world are rooting for you.
I am really impressed with this young lady's quiet, humble demeanour. She just needs to continue to work on herself so, she can love herself enough to receive love from others. I really like her a lot.
“The only way to get through it…is through it” I enjoyed this pure authentic interview💯
Positivity and encouragement at it’s best👏🏾
No denying her talent,love lila Ike
Oh my God this so touching , my heart breaks for her. Managing Bi-polar is not easy, I hope she continues to have people in her life that understands and supports her. Medication management gonna be key.
Medication definitely is not the “key” do some research about non invasive, natural ways to deal with illness because 99.999% of the time medication is NOT “THE KEY”
@@moniquethoughtprovokerHall The stigma attached to medicine sometimes is caused by misinformation.
So happy to see Lila, love that the evil world of social media has not taken her joy.
Respect to you Yendi for the way you conducted this interview with the young artist on such a delicate subject matter. Really happy to see that she's getting somethings sorted out. I am rooting for her and looking forward to her continued success with her career and her well-being. I am a 57 yrs old yard man living in the US but l follow her because she is a real talent
Such a beautiful interview! So emotional. The transparency, vulnerability not to mention courage and strength shows the true inspiration that she is! SO proud ❤👏🏽💪🏾
This was deep. I felt every moment of this conversation. Bless up, Lila. Do what you need to take care of yourself, love. Big up, Yendi.
Very happy to see her doing an interview with Yendi, because offers a safe space for public figures. Lila is a light even through her healing. Glad to see her taking her health so seriously.
Deep, incisive, enlightening and soulful. A lesson to those of us who make hasty judgements and who lack the patience, wisdom and simple kindness in our relationships with each other. Despite the trials and tribulations, the Princess is as composed and serene as ever.
May you continue your healing Lila. Blessings and Power on your journey through MUSIC and LIFE!!
Love that “giving your mind a home” staying in the present , will definitely try to utilize this going forward, very powerful indeed.
JESUS is the only way.. Broken people can't get fixed with sweet sounding phrases. Only JESUS can so that. If not, she/we will always justify our choices because of our hurts. Life is tough. Folk need to grow up n accept this, and accept that Jehovah provided us all a very expensive solution to our hurt - the death, burial, ressurection of JESUS Christ. BY HIS STIPES WE ARE HEALED. There is no other that can heal, save, restore, make while again.
@@dorrettenugent4568 u know you can give ur mind a home in christ right? So its right
@@kissedbyarose5169 repentance.. This is love that saves the soul in Christ. The rest is simply deception from Satan.
@@dorrettenugent4568 IF U GIVE UR LIFE TO CHRIST, U HAVE GIVEN UR MIND A HOME!
@@kissedbyarose5169 My dear, it is love that corrects sin. Beyond the truth of this, I really have no interest in this. Take care.
Wow! I’m a big Lila Ike fan and seeing her transparency here about her life is eye opening. It makes sense the deep feeling she puts out in her music- I get her. Great interview, Yendi, especially in allowing her to talk and express herself. Bless up!
Lila Ike mental health is a very important health and you highlighted it’s importance today… you were raw unfiltered and absolutely amazing… I have never met you but I love you 💕 ❤️💕KEEP ON DOING AMAZING THINGS💕
pulling for Lila - she’s the real deal and happy she’s taking care of herself
I figured that she was having those issues with Bipolar,see it all the time. I am happy she is actually getting help. She has a beautiful voice. Will keep her in my prayers.
I cried the entire interview! Not out of pity it's because I'm an empath but I'm so happy to hear and she that she's in a better place, I speak healing on you Lila. You are so beautiful and talented and raw and deserving of everything in this world! Amazing interview Yendi! I am grateful to be apart of this community 💕
I know whatchu mean. I had to be in the right head-space, before watching this interview. Lila is definitely an Empath too. That's why she feels things so profoundly & deeply.
@@leisaamore7951 it’s so true, some of us carry the world on our shoulders… your head governs your whole body and it’s there that the problems begin and END!!!
@@leisaamore7951 She indeed is. Blessings to her and to you all.
Im glad Lila Iké is back and living and speaking her truths...cant nobody silence or shame her...her life is hers to live and shes an amazing artist...all she owes us is good music...and her and In Digg Deliver that everytime.
lie she ah tell bout mental health, all because she want be lesbian and Reggae artist at the same time is it cannot work
@@antoniobaret7928 ...Its working just fine shes an Artist who makes great Music...its Lila Music she makes and her fans and supporters we Love it thank you.
Lila...I love you....it's just the Most High balancing you out. You direct your movie and the light shines through the flesh. Keep going..no need to be down. We are expression of the Absolute. Get out of bed because the birds call you from it. Infinite blessings...again you are loved
I miss her, I miss her positive ig live! First time hopping in a celebrity dm few weeks ago checking in on her. Glad she's well ❤ love n light queen.
Half way through and I can say…. It’s refreshing to see two beautiful women intimately speak about how our doubt can kill our dreams… Yendi understood exactly where Lila was coming from with the ‘expectation agenda’ clearly from her own experiences. What a joy and example it is for other humans to see ourselves and tragedies in people we see as out heroes!!! I am happy in my heart for this!!!
Doubts can really kill our dreams.
ohhhh lawdddd the way i jumped and clicked this when i saw her name . Lila is my baby ughhh , im so so sooo happy shes okay wish i could give her such a big hug .I pray that you stay strong and live in your light baby girl , thanks for having her yendi .LOVE YOU LILAAAAA!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! CANT WAIT FOR THE SONG . KEEP GROUNDED AND STRONG .
Yendi you have the skill as an interviewer to allow someone to be vulnerable by providing a safe space and protecting them at the same time. I don’t believe I will ever hear your name called in any argument about exploitative interviews. Protoje keeps on rising in my opinion of him, his protection of Lila is admirable and shows his support of the female artists is not for show but he wants the best for them as people first as well as helping them to be the best artist they can be. Lila puts me in the mind of Mary J Blige in the way their voices can convey emotion that touches you deep within
Aww Lila
I love you ❤️
I miss you 🥰
I’m so proud of you, continue to embrace your story and displaying your greatness 🙏🏾
You are fulfilling your purpose and it’s so refreshing ❤️
Big up Mama Cherry🥰❤️🙏🏾😘
So transparent.....this interview......talk to yourself, get sunlight, get active..awesome
I am crying while watching this young lady bear her soul to the world. Let us be kind to one another because we never know what a person is going through. May she continue to get the help she needs and may the loving arms of God embrace her and give her peace .
She is an unstoppable force. The best is yet to come 💯
One of the best youtube channel out of Jamaica, love you yendi.
Wow so refreshing to kinda delve deeper into who she is. It takes tremendous strength to talk about personal struggles in general, let alone in a public space. I just see strength.
somebody need to call Netflix for Yendi. Who know the number? This interview flowed so smoothly; was sooo informative with Yendi orchestrating the pace in the best way possible. Lila's bravery and talent are both overwhelming! Loved this one!!!! Kudos to you both!
Just when I thought I couldn't love this queen more......she's so pure. Exactly what music needs right now.
I say a prayer for Lila all the time. I hope she's ok. Can't wait to watch her interview. I'll just say this. Lila is talented beyond measure. The world is her oyster. Be true to yourself Lila Ike. Lots of us are wishing you well.❤️
Lila deserve an apology from lots of these ignorant artists who was hating on her
She definitely does but honestly it's sad but she has to push through without it. Why? Because it shows they didn't rate of her from the jump and just wanted something to happen so they can attack her.
Completely ignorant and disrespectful.
Raising awareness about mental health is a gift that you are giving to us. xoxo
Lila’s call center voice is lovely
I think this is certainly one of the best interviews I have ever seen. Lila Ike, you are a gem.
I was not expecting to bawl but here I am. This was beautiful. Sending Lila so much love.❤️ Also big up Proteje!
I love her style....
The blue nail polish just pop and the runners with the blue in it and the peach dress up outfit....mawdddd...
Goodie full a style and grace....
My artist this
Yea. Her voice is crazy. What is amazing is that when she speaks you know she can sing.
"The 🔑 to a happy mind is to give your mind a home"
I respect this interview, I respect how she embrace that Mr. Protoja stood by her side through it all. This is refreshing .. Well done yendi
If I could love you both a million more times. I am about to cry....this was extremely inspiring. Girl you will be fine. The only way toget through it is through it....Lila Ike..
Be a friend of yourself...Lila Ike
Two Words!!!!!
She speaks so fluently abt her life story it is like a story book just imaging the thing while she speaks.But trust sometimes u have to know what d person is going through before being judgemental."If u dnt know the story dnt judge the book"Yendi was just reserved while Lila gave it all to her.Parishene...Big up to u Cherry u did very well as a mom!
Good interview Yendi. Love how you allowed Lila to speak uninterrupted. Sending Lila grace. She's an inspiration.
I always knew that my connection to Lila's music was special but today I got THE confirmation my soul needed. We all are struggling with similar issues,we just don't talk about them. Thank you Lila,take your time. We are patiently waiting on you. I too suffer with BPD, CPTSD and Anxiety. I TOTALLY get it.
Sending Love siSTAR!🤗🌹💙
What a beautiful interview...again this interview only prove that we should not judge people
Lila did something for me in this episode and I’m sure she doesn’t know that. Your song true love, the words, the ultimate meaning behind it, really caused me to tear up. Really and truly this was the motivation I needed to keep going. It’s not easy keeping your head up and in a world that is falling apart. Not the world we live in, but the world that I’ve created in my head. A world where there’s all rubies and pearls, rainbows ,and sunshine. I’ve battled with depression for years, and now anxiety. You are truly and inspiration. You said that your dream is to have your story motivate young boys and girls, well just know that dream is already a reality. Love love love this episode 🥺💕. Lila touched my heart, jah know. I’m so excited to see what’s coming next. -Love Deja 💕
What a refreshing honesty, keep positive Lila Ike. You are a star, I love ALL your songs. Big up to the Protege, real man, appealing to the person and not the money. Nuff love Yendi, another master piece.
This girl voice bring a fresh to my soul. I can relate to her bipolar disorder...I trouble with it from time to time...sad but a part a life...it an anxiety a close cousin..I use music,and the most high teachings to control mine... meditations kinda help too... blessings to her and am happy she's ok and keep doing her thing .. .love the interview...bless up yandi...one love ❤️
Protect your peace at all times Lila and keep shining bright
Mental health is a serious thing. I'm glad she is speaking about it. That will help others. Respect..
Love this. Love Lila. Her openness about her mental health is real. We don’t know what people are going through, so always be kind. ❤️
So inspiring! I have been struggling with depression for years.. thought I had gotten over it, but realized a few months ago it’s still here with me. This interview gives me a whole new vibe .. a whole new bucket of strength. thanks Ike and yendi 💕💕💕💕💕
Nah lie this interview ...probably one of best I've seen and all of them yendi do are good. Leila just calm and collected feel like mi siddung cross way from dem a listen.
Wishing you all the best
Lila must be protected at all costs 💖💃🏾
