Zoe Kravitz made a shocking confession in her latest interview.

In Complex magazine, the 26-year-old revealed that she struggled with an eating disorder as a teenager, and it was until the last two years that she has been free of those tendencies.

“I had a really hard time when I was 16, 17, 18. I started with the eating disorder in high school….” she said. “Just [a hard time] loving myself.”

Kravitz went on to say that it was the pressure from being in the celebrity world that led to her eating disorder.

“I think it was part of being a woman, and being surrounded by [fame],” she said. “I don’t think it was about the fame, but I think it was definitely about being around that world, seeing that world. I felt pressured.”

It was while filming “The Road Within” that her mom Lisa Bonet became concern for Kravitz, and Kravitz revealed she didn’t get her period regularly, her immune system shut down and she wasn’t receptive to friends encouraging her weight gain. “I was like, ‘I don’t want to gain weight,’ as opposed to being like, ‘Good, I’m a normal human being.’”

It must have been hard for Kravitz to open up about her eating disorder, but she is definitely helping the over 24 million people in the United States suffering from the disease. However, she is not the first celeb to be a voice for the disease.

From Demi Lovato to Lady Gaga, many celebs have raised awareness about the severity of anorexia or bulimia through very shocking confessions. And it is not only female celebrities. Male celebrities such as Dennis Quaid, Russell Brand and Elton John have also suffered from eating disorders.

Save the date because April 26 comes the latest project The Coldest. Skilla Baby is poised for the announcement by unveiling a brand new single Free Big Meech. Produced by MIA JayC and Lee Choppn, this single hinges on tense synths and punchy 808s, while Skilla Baby unleashes a vital verbal flurry. Paving a lane to the forefront of the game at high-speed, rising Detroit rapper spoke on the project:

I took my time to put this project together… Sometimes, I feel like people try to place me in a box. The pressure of being a new artist, being successful, staying disciplined, and still clocking into the studio is very strenuous. But fun at the same time. As an artist, I’m known as the “Girl’s guy”. But I’ll never forget I come from the streets. As a real person, I feel so many emotions (mad, sad, happy, anxious, etc.). I say that to say, sorry for the wait but I wanted to put everything I feel into one project. Grab your coats…

Next up, the Vultures Eat The Most Tour takes him across the country on his most extensive jaunt yet. He also joins forces with New Orleans heavy-hitter Rob49 to co-headline the tour with tickets available here. This year is gearing up to be the coldest yet so pre-order your copy of the project here.

It’s harder to wake up when you have mundane ish to do. Unveiling a brand new music video, Young France recruits UK Indie sensation Master Peace for huge new track Wake Up. Life becomes easier when you’re on the path to becoming a rockstar. The music video, shot in the UK, follows Young Franco and Master Peace individually, through a first-person lens as they undertake “mundane” daily activities until they then meet and begin to enjoy the iconic streets and taxis of London together. Franco spoke on the track:

Working with Master Peace has been an amazing experience. I found out about his project via his record “Eyes on You” and have wanted to work with him since that moment. I was writing a bunch of tracks in 2020. One of them being an early version of Wake Up, which I wrote with Elliot from Delta Riggs. I connected with Master Peace online and once I got to London last year, we smashed this in a couple of hours. His new record is fantastic and I’m super excited how this one turned out. Special mention to Danio from Husky Loops for some added production too.

Young Franco has started 2024 off with a bang, where he teamed up with UK rapper S1mba for the release of the funk laid hip hop track HITA. Wake Up follows a busy year of touring already, where he has done a sold out run of Europe with a string of sold-out shows in the USA. Young Franco has accumulated over 200 million streams and plans to continue to put Astralwerks Records on the map. Stream your copy of the single here and watch the dreamlike visual below.
