R&B singer Kehlani was hospitalized in an apparent suicide attempt after rumors began circulating that she cheated on her boyfriend.

In an Instagram post that has since been deleted, Kehlani posted a picture of her arm hooked up to an IV in a hospital bed (screen grab below).

“I wanted to leave this Earth. Being completely selfish for once. Never thought I’d get to such a low point,” she wrote, according to Mashable.

“Don’t believe the blogs you read. No one was cheated on and I’m not a bad person,” she continued. “God saved me for a reason, and for that…I must be grateful.. Cuz I’m not in heaven right now for a reason.”

Kehlani, whose full name is Kehlani Parrish, rose to fame on Season 6 of “America’s Got Talent” as a member of the group PopLyfe, finishing in fourth place. She is currently dating Cleveland Cavaliers point guard Kyrie Irving. Rumors began to spread that she was cheating on him after rapper PARTYNEXTDOOR posted a photo of Kehlani on Instagram.

She released the mixtape “You Should Be Here” in April of 2015, which peaked at number five on the U.S. R&B charts. She followed that up with a sold out North American tour.
