Gucci Mane and Keyshia Ka’oir Detail Managing His Schizophrenia as Feud Follows Radio Interview

His memoir with a companion interview describes a 2020 crisis that prompted treatment.

Overview

  • In an Oct. 20 Breakfast Club interview, Keyshia Ka’oir said she deletes Gucci Mane’s social media apps and can change his passwords to prevent public exposure during episodes.
  • Ka’oir said she spots oncoming trouble when he withdraws, stops eating and sleeping, and punctuates each word in texts, allowing early intervention at home.
  • Gucci Mane described episodes as psychosis with hearing voices and feeling targeted, noting he has apologized for things said during those periods.
  • He said he once gave away expensive jewelry while unwell and later cut off friends he felt exploited him, reframing past behavior through the diagnoses shared in his book Episodes.
  • Following the interview, Nicki Minaj criticized Ka’oir on X for allegedly keeping Gucci “sedated,” and Ka’oir appeared to respond by posting a video of herself listening to Cardi B, further fueling online discourse.
