Before performing "Love Yourself," Cole delivered an emotional speech, saying:
As you grow up, you go through some traumatic shit...You leave it alone and you ignore it, and before you know it, youre 20 fucking years old and youre walking around with all this shit thats accumulated. Every day, Vegas, people die.... And they never got a chance to deal with their shit.... Im not trying to wait till I die to deal with my shit. Im trying to deal with my shit right fuckin now.
Here is the video of the touching moment:

\u201cNever seen cole cry. But Mac Miller's death really hit him. Kids on drugs is what his whole KOD album was about. One of his greatest albums yet. The message is to stay away from drugs. Please people. Save your own lives.\u201d
\u201cThis is a message for anybody in this game that\u2019s going through something. If you don\u2019t feel right, if you feel you have a substance problem, if you need a ear to vent to. If you uncomfortable talking to people around you. Please reach out to me.\u201d
