Gucci Mane's Wife Reveals How She Manages His Schizophrenia Episodes

In a recent interview, Atlanta rapper Gucci Mane and his wife Keyshia Ka'Oir discussed the rapper's schizophrenia diagnosis and how they manage his mental health condition. Ka'Oir revealed that she is now trained to recognize the signs of an impending episode, allowing her to intervene and prevent it from escalating.

"I have a system -- I take his apps off his phone," Ka'Oir explained. "First thing I do, I delete Instagram. I delete everything. Even if I gotta change his password, I'm changing it because I don't need the public to know he's having an episode." She further stated that she controls everything at home, ensuring Gucci is not able to access social media or communicate with the public during these times.

Gucci also opened up about his own behavior during episodes, admitting that he would give away expensive jewelry to his friends, who would take advantage of his condition. "I gave away jewelry. Jewelry costs so much, I would give my friends jewelry. They knew I wasn't well, but they'd take it," he said. The couple has two children together, Ice and Iceland, the latter of whom was born in 2023.

The interview provides a candid look into the challenges faced by Gucci Mane and his family as they navigate his schizophrenia diagnosis. Ka'Oir's proactive approach to managing his episodes and Gucci's own reflections on his past behavior offer valuable insights into the realities of living with a mental health condition.
