Mental health issues is a real thing that in the community gets hidden by a multitude for many reasons. We all had an uncle Charles that stayed locked up in a room in big mama’s house, it’s a reality that we should not be ashamed of. How does the saying go? Each one, teach one?? Rapper Gucci Mane and his wife, Keyshia Ka’oir, in a recent interview promoting his new book, ‘Episodes’, along with his new album, opened up about Gucci Mane’s struggles with addiction along with, unbeknownst to many, schizophrenia.
According to Gucci Mane’s wife Keyshia Ka’oir, that clearly stand 10 toes down with her husband Gucci Mane:
“I have a system — I take his apps off his phone. First thing I do is 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. You realize you haven’t known about any other episodes since September 13. That’s because I control that. Because, you’re not going on Instagram, you’re not going on Twitter. It’s deleted. I control everything at home. And now, before the episodes come, I catch it. So, that’s why he hasn’t had another one.”
The trap pioneer Gucci Mane released his Episodes album to celebrate 10/17 Day on Friday (Oct. 17), which was preceded by the arrival of Gucci’s Episodes book earlier this week.
