Keyshia Ka’oir Reveals Her Secrets Of How She Prevents Gucci Mane From Having Public Schizophrenic Episodes

Gucci Mane got candid about his mental health diagnoses in his new memoir, Episodes, He and his wife, Keyshia Ka’oir, sat down with The Breakfast Club, where she opened up about how she deals with her husband’s schizophrenia so the public doesn’t find out he’s having an episode. “I take his apps off his phone,” Ka’oir explained at around the 8:40 minute mark. “First thing I do, I delete Instagram. I delete everything. Even if I got to change his password, I'm changing it because I don't need the public to know he's having an episode. You realize you'd never know about any other episode since Sept. 13 because I control that. You're not going on Instagram, you're not going on Twitter, it's deleted. I just control everything at home “Now, before the episodes come, I catch it,” 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 don'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. Ka’oir’s reference to the date Sept. 13 might be Sept. 13, 2013, when Gucci’s friend called the police due to erratic behavior. The incident led to La Flare being charged with carrying a concealed weapon, possession of marijuana, and disorderly conduct. He was reportedly hospitalized after the arrest and subsequently served 183 days in jail Gucci Mane’s memoir, Episodes, co-written by music journalist and author Kathy Iandoli, chronicles his life and mental health issues.
