There’s no getting around it: breakups hurt. And, while plenty of people slap on a smile and say they’re doing “great!” post-break-up, others freely admit that they’re completely heartbroken.

Celebrities usually try to paint a rosy picture, but some have come totally clean about how rough breakups can be. Whether you’re struggling with a breakup of your own, or just feel like relating to a star, hiplife musician Nero X has justified that heartbreak is so, so real, and can even kill.

According to Nero X in an interview with Michael Agyapong on Radio 1 monitored by Ghcelebrities.com said, as an outsider, you might think I handled it so well, but it’s always in your heart, and you always feel it very heavily. It’ll be hard for a while. Love hurts, but you have to pull through, but it did not get me down too much because I think of it as disappointment and not heartbreak.

"I remember seeing people throwing up. Like, within the hour. “It seems they have never felt anything quite like that. It so visceral. It’s like someone has killed you and you have to live through it and watch it happen … It was awful", he said.
