Gucci Mane, a fashion icon, rapper, and writer, has released his new memoir, Episodes, in which he reveals his diagnosis with bipolar disorder and schizophrenia. The legendary rapper and his wife, Keyshia Ka’ir, in a conversation with The Breakfast Club, showed how his wife helps him heal.
Gucci Mane and Keyshia Ka’Oir opened up about his mental health
Married for decades, Gucci’s wife already knew about his signs, and when he started showing signs, Ka’Oir told the show hosts she always prepared for the worst. Keyshia said that she deleted apps from his phone; she deleted Instagram, Twitter, and everything. Ka’Oir continued:
“So that’s why he hasn’t had another one. And how you catch that is he doesn’t speak to you. He wants to be left alone. He doesn’t eat. He does not sleep—text messages. There’s a period after each word. And I’m like, ‘You’re going through an episode. You’re sick.’ ‘No, I’m not. Ain’t nothing wrong with me. Why do you think that?’ ‘You’re not speaking to me.’ ‘Well, there’s nothing to talk about.’ I said, ‘Well, that’s not how you speak to your wife.’ And I’m like, ‘You’re sick.’ And we snap out of it right then.”
