Cordae & Jonquel Jones Open Up About Therapy, Pressure & Finding Balance

Billboard · 12 hours ago

Billboard, in partnership with mental health platform BetterHelp, released a video interview featuring rapper Cordae and New York Liberty basketball star Jonquel Jones discussing therapy and the mental toll of success in their respective fields. The conversation, part of Billboard's "Like Minded by BetterHelp" series, sees the two high-profile figures speak candidly about coping with pressure and expectations while staying grounded amid public scrutiny.

The discussion, hosted by Billboard staff writer Kyle Denis alongside licensed professional counsellor Sonni Williams, was filmed in Brooklyn, New York. Jones, the WNBA's 2024 Finals MVP, described therapy as a way of managing pressures beyond her control and said she is "a big advocate" for it, while three-time Grammy nominee Cordae explained he turned to therapy partly to avoid burdening others, including his father, with his problems. The pair reflected more broadly on the routines, relationships and mindset shifts that help them build resilience and stay authentic on stage, on court and in everyday life.
