TikTok creator Mainly Mannie has revealed shocking details about his near-fatal health battle, describing how an HIV diagnosis led to a suicide attempt and a two-month coma. The internet star, known for his motivational alter ego 'Boss and CEO', spoke candidly about his ordeal and recovery, thanking his followers for their support.
In July 2025, Mainly Mannie learned he had been diagnosed with HIV. In a video posted on 28 October, he explained that he went home that evening and attempted to take his own life. He was discovered unconscious the next morning by a neighbour, identified only as Ms Roxanne, who called for an ambulance. Paramedics resuscitated Mannie, who recalled having no memory of the event. He later revealed that he spent August and September, as well as part of July, in a coma. When he regained consciousness, he faced both the physical and emotional effects of his diagnosis and the trauma that followed.
