Rapper Professor Green joins James Smith for an unfiltered conversation about the problem with fame, the illusion of success and the hidden loneliness behind recognition.
From growing up in Hackney to playing Glastonbury, Professor Green reveals how fame promised to fix everything… and nearly broke him instead.
They dive into the darker side of success, the pressure to perform, the loss of privacy and the mental health toll of living as a public persona.
Green opens up about his late autism and ADHD diagnosis, the self-sabotage of success and learning to rebuild a life grounded in honesty, fatherhood and self-awareness rather than applause.
He explains:
◼️ Why fame magnifies your problems instead of solving them
◼️ How childhood trauma shapes ambition and anxiety
◼️ The reality of addiction, ego, and escapism in celebrity culture
◼️ Why becoming a dad finally made him stop performing
◼️ How self-understanding saved his life
