Professor Green, whose real name is Stephen Manderson, was just 24 when his father Peter committed suicide.
"I've been through a whole spectrum of emotions. I was angry. I was upset. I was confused. I went through all of those emotions several times"
And now, in a new series called Suicide Survivors, the Read All About It hit maker has spoken about how he dealt with his grief, with his anger and with life after his father's death.
He explained: “It's been six years since my dad took his life. I was 24.
“I first learned about it on a Wednesday morning. My grandmother, who I was living with at the time, came into my room in tears. She just said, 'Stephen, your dad's dead. He's hanged himself.' They were the words that I woke up to. I hadn't seen him for six years.”
Professor Green went on to explain how, despite the fact his father died six years ago, he can still feel the grief and emotions - at times - as strongly as he did on the day he found out the news.
And, in particular, he felt the loss most keenly on his wedding day to Millie Mackintosh:
“Since Dad died, I've been through a whole spectrum of emotions. I was angry. I was upset. I was confused. I went through all of those emotions several times."
"Initially it was anger because it was such a selfish thing to do. It also made me realise how stupid not reaching out over pride was.
“I got married recently. It brought everything back to the surface, because my dad wasn't there to see it. My father wasn't at my wedding, not because of some unfortunate accident, but because of a decision that he made."
He added: “We went up to my nan's house the other day. Nan was doing what she always does and annoyingly showing my now wife pictures of me as a kid. Out comes one with my dad.
"I haven't cried in years, but I saw his face and it just broke me down. There was just a void, thinking about how I haven't got him in my life.”
Explaining how he is moving on with his life and hopes to start a family of his own, Professor Green said: “Now I've turned 30, I would have to say, reluctantly, that I'm a grown man. I have to focus in on my life and making better of it.
“I'm married and I want to have children. I don't want to make the same mistakes that my father did.”
