British-Nigerian rapper Darkoo recently opened up about her experience coming out to her parents, describing it as a profoundly liberating moment in her life. During a candid conversation on the podcast ‘The Appointment Show,’ hosted by Layo, she revealed that sharing her sexuality with her mother felt like “a massive weight off my shoulder.” Since that day, Darkoo has noticed a significant boost in her happiness.
She elaborated on the emotional impact of the conversation, noting that it was particularly challenging for her mom, with whom she shares a close bond. “It was very emotional for my mom,” Darkoo shared, reflecting on the depth of their relationship. In contrast, her father appeared less invested in the discussion, which added a different dynamic to the experience.
Despite the varied reactions from her parents, Darkoo emphasized the importance of living her life authentically. “At the end of the day, I’m living my life. And that’s what I’m doing,” she stated, highlighting her commitment to embracing her true self. Her openness serves as an inspiring reminder of the importance of self-acceptance and communication within families.
