Ghanaian Afropop and Dancehall artist, MzVee, has revealed her break from music was as a result of stress in her personal life which had led to depression.
According to MzVee, born Vera Hamenoo-Kpeda, her absence from the industry was a necessary fior rejuvenation and self-actualization.
Despite being surrounded by fans who profess their love to her, the musician revealed she had to battle depression for two years which has made her shy away from everything she loved the most.
Speaking on Accra-based TV3 monitored by Adomonline.com, the musician explained that her mental disorder, which affected her gravely, reached its peak when she lost her romantic relationship because she became less sociable.
