Chipmunk 'scraps promo after suicide threat'

Chipmunk has cancelled all upcoming promotional appearances after "working too hard".

The 18-year-old, who topped the singles chart last month with 'Oopsy Daisy', posted a message on Twitter claiming that he wanted to kill himself.

"I wanna die," he wrote, later adding: "Is suicide easy?"

The rapper pulled out of the Modern Warfare 2 video game launch and the Tweets have since been removed.

A statement from his spokesperson reads: "Chipmunk has been working incredibly hard, which has taken its toll.

"Management have agreed to cancel all upcoming appearances to give him some much-needed time off."

According to The Sun, Chipmunk is resting with his family in North London.

His latest post reads: "This has been the most difficult time for me... But I will get through it! Believe none of what you hear... And half of what you see!"
