• 0:37
  Speaker 2: I knew the conversation was going to be a good conversation.
• 0:39
  Speaker 2: I'm a huge fan of Gucci's of course, really really
• 0:42
  Speaker 2: big fan of kishk Wor. I remember being in college
• 0:45
  Speaker 2: and like you know, we was doing the color lipsticks
• 0:48
  Speaker 2: and the hair and you know, all the things because
• 0:53
  Speaker 2: Or had or she still does have keshki Or cosmetics,
• 0:56
  Speaker 2: but I don't know if she had us in a
• 0:57
  Speaker 2: choke hold at that time. The girls that had the
• 1:00
  Speaker 2: hair with the middle like little mohawk. I never did
• 1:03
  Speaker 2: a little little little you know, mohawk dingy thingy, but
• 1:07
  Speaker 2: being at Dell State.
• 1:07
  Speaker 1: During that time.
• 1:08
  Speaker 2: Being at college during that time, you really got to
• 1:09
  Speaker 2: see the impact of both of these people. So sitting
• 1:12
  Speaker 2: here with them, you know, whenever I'm at breakfast club
• 1:15
  Speaker 2: is always like, damn, I'm really you know what I mean, Like,
• 1:19
  Speaker 2: I'm really sitting here with the But then they're they're
• 1:21
  Speaker 2: Gucci is in a different space in his life. He's
• 1:23
  Speaker 2: talking about, you know, everything he's dealing with, you know,
• 1:26
  Speaker 2: mental health wise. And the book and the album Episodes
• 1:29
  Speaker 2: is out, So I knew it was going to be
• 1:30
  Speaker 2: an open and vulnerable conversation, but I had no idea
• 1:34
  Speaker 2: I want to take a second to just talk about
• 1:37
  Speaker 2: some of the things that we talked about in some
• 1:39
  Speaker 2: of the ways I saw people responding to the interview
• 1:43
  Speaker 2: in total, So, Kisha k Or and Gucci, you know,
• 1:48
  Speaker 2: they are married, they now have two kids together, and
• 1:51
  Speaker 2: from the outside looking in, before we learned that Gucci,
• 1:56
  Speaker 2: you know, was dealing with mental struggles of his own,
• 1:59
  Speaker 2: their relationship has been one that you know, trends a
• 2:02
  Speaker 2: lot of times as a fairy tale. From the story
• 2:05
  Speaker 2: about Gucci giving Keisha ko Or the money before he
• 2:07
  Speaker 2: went to jail and her flipping the money and him
• 2:10
  Speaker 2: coming home to all this money, and you know, just
• 2:12
  Speaker 2: you always see the videos and the photos of the
• 2:15
  Speaker 2: lobsters and them, you know, they dressed it like they fly,
• 2:18
  Speaker 2: they walking into concerts, doing this, doing that. But to
• 2:20
  Speaker 2: hear the other side of things where it's like in
• 2:24
  Speaker 2: real life she is. And I think, you know, when
• 2:27
  Speaker 2: you're married, you are your life's like you are your
• 2:30
  Speaker 2: partner's lifeline. But I think it's in such a different
• 2:34
  Speaker 2: way when that person is dealing with anything, you know,
• 2:38
  Speaker 2: in any type of sickness, whether it's a mental health
• 2:41
  Speaker 2: situation or it's you know, a physical disability, it's just different.
• 2:45
  Speaker 2: And I think them being vulnerable and opening up and
• 2:49
  Speaker 2: talking about this not even think I know. Keisha ki
• 2:52
  Speaker 2: Or literally just posted to her Instagram that someone reached
• 2:55
  Speaker 2: out to her. She said that she had been getting
• 2:57
  Speaker 2: flooded by dms every since the Breakfast Club interview. But
• 3:00
  Speaker 2: she says, specifically, right before I walked into this podcast,
• 3:03
  Speaker 2: I saw her post that there was a mom who says,
• 3:06
  Speaker 2: my son was watching that interview. He finally would be
• 3:09
  Speaker 2: honest with himself about the fact that he does have
• 3:12
  Speaker 2: mental health struggles and that he does need some help.
• 3:14
  Speaker 2: Thank you, because now they're able to actually go and
• 3:17
  Speaker 2: do something about it. And Gucci talked a bit in
• 3:19
  Speaker 2: this interview just about you know what that looked like
• 3:22
  Speaker 2: shame wise for him and why you know it kind
• 3:24
  Speaker 2: of took him so long to come around and just say, Yo,
• 3:27
  Speaker 2: here's what's going on with me.
• 3:28
  Speaker 1: Let's take a listen. I wonder what the psychology is
• 3:31
  Speaker 1: behind that, Like why when you going through an episode.
• 3:32
  Speaker 3: You give away money and I don't know, you don't
• 3:35
  Speaker 3: care your mind because the money don't is not You're
• 3:38
  Speaker 3: kind of like inn a warp world. It's almost like
• 3:41
  Speaker 3: it's a psychosist. You know what I'm saying. It's not
• 3:43
  Speaker 3: you're dealing with stuff like hearing voices. Yeah they have
• 3:46
  Speaker 3: money now and you're hearing voices too, Like it's telling
• 3:48
  Speaker 3: you that. You know, you might think that Charloa Mane
• 3:51
  Speaker 3: trying to I might think that you're trying to fight me.
• 3:52
  Speaker 3: You ain't even did nothing. We'll be like, bro, I
• 3:54
  Speaker 3: ain't doing nothing to tell you what's wrong. Like I'll
• 3:55
  Speaker 3: be trying to fight you, Charlae man like you did this.
• 3:59
  Speaker 3: You know what you did? You stole something from me.
• 4:01
  Speaker 3: He'd be like, but in my mind, I'm like it's
• 4:05
  Speaker 3: the truth. So that's what I used to deal with.
• 4:07
  Speaker 2: How did therapy in the self work change your relationship
• 4:10
  Speaker 2: with anger? And like, do you still wrestle with that
• 4:12
  Speaker 2: same in a voice that you talk about throughout the book?
• 4:14
  Speaker 3: I don't. I don't. It's like I seen a therapist.
• 4:17
  Speaker 3: I gotta I gotta sort taking medicine to prescribe for
• 4:21
  Speaker 3: me what she thought any worked and I haven't had
• 4:24
  Speaker 3: any other problems now.
• 4:26
  Speaker 2: One of the things that I think, you know, I
• 4:29
  Speaker 2: knew that there was going to be something fallout because
• 4:32
  Speaker 2: Keisha k Or has said, you know, my man don't
• 4:35
  Speaker 2: got to do nothing but relax.
• 4:37
  Speaker 1: Basically, here's what she actually said.
• 4:39
  Speaker 4: I treat Gucci so good, Like I know, I said this.
• 4:43
  Speaker 4: When he first came out of present, I would bathe him.
• 4:44
  Speaker 1: And what I don't bathe him no more.
• 4:46
  Speaker 4: But I used to bathe him. Now I still cook
• 4:49
  Speaker 4: for him. The only thing Gucci gotta do is shower.
• 4:54
  Speaker 4: He don't gotta do nothing else. I do everything for
• 4:57
  Speaker 4: that man, but not because I have to do. I
• 5:00
  Speaker 4: want to.
• 5:02
  Speaker 5: I enjoyed taking care of him.
• 5:04
  Speaker 4: I enjoy him just being happy, going to the studio
• 5:06
  Speaker 4: and doing music. I don't want him to worry about
• 5:08
  Speaker 4: the bills, worry about what you gotta eat, worry about
• 5:11
  Speaker 4: nothing that man, all you gotta do is babe child
• 5:14
  Speaker 4: and go do his shows and go to the studio.
• 5:17
  Speaker 1: That is it.
• 5:17
  Speaker 4: The wife takes care of everything else, and I love
• 5:20
  Speaker 4: doing it, and if I don't do it, I would
• 5:22
  Speaker 4: be miserable.
• 5:23
  Speaker 2: When she sat down with Carlos King, for you know,
• 5:25
  Speaker 2: the conversation she had with Carlos King, the world was
• 5:28
  Speaker 2: in a uproar period, like people could not understand what
• 5:34
  Speaker 2: she meant.
• 5:34
  Speaker 1: By I make peace, I make home for my man.
• 5:37
  Speaker 2: Even though again at that time, I didn't fully understand
• 5:41
  Speaker 2: the extent of, you know, Gucci's struggles.
• 5:45
  Speaker 1: People were in an uproar.
• 5:46
  Speaker 2: So when she was talking about a lot of the
• 5:48
  Speaker 2: different things in our interview at the Breakfast Club that
• 5:51
  Speaker 2: she had to do just to make sure he got
• 5:54
  Speaker 2: through and gets through actively you know what his struggles
• 5:57
  Speaker 2: are mentally, I knew that people were.
• 6:00
  Speaker 1: Going to have something to say.
• 6:02
  Speaker 2: Now, let's say, to listen to keishak k or talk
• 6:04
  Speaker 2: about how she was able to protect Gucci from the
• 6:08
  Speaker 2: world while he was going through what was happening mentally,
• 6:11
  Speaker 2: because a lot of y'all because of this or I
• 6:14
  Speaker 2: don't know, Like the reaction to her talking about how
• 6:17
  Speaker 2: she protected him in this situation has been a little
• 6:20
  Speaker 2: odd to me. Like I saw people saying like always
• 6:22
  Speaker 2: given caregate caretaker more than his given wife, and I'm like, Wow,
• 6:26
  Speaker 2: people really don't understand what it's like to deal with
• 6:29
  Speaker 2: someone who is dealing with something health wise. You instantly
• 6:34
  Speaker 2: become a caretaker. You don't have a choice because even
• 6:37
  Speaker 2: if you bring people in, they don't love, nurture or
• 6:42
  Speaker 2: have the patience. Yo, the patience is the biggest thing.
• 6:45
  Speaker 2: They don't have the patience like you have for the
• 6:47
  Speaker 2: person you love. And it's twenty four to seven, especially
• 6:51
  Speaker 2: when somebody's dealing with something with mental health. Let'say listen
• 6:53
  Speaker 2: to Keisha Ki or talk about, you know, deleting Gucci's
• 6:56
  Speaker 2: apps off his phone so that the world didn't know
• 6:58
  Speaker 2: what he was going through after his last molt down
• 7:00
  Speaker 2: with all those tweets for you, what was it like
• 7:03
  Speaker 2: just trying to protect the business that you guys have built.
• 7:06
  Speaker 5: Wow, I have a sister. I take his apps off
• 7:09
  Speaker 5: his phone. First thing I do. I delete Instagram, I
• 7:11
  Speaker 5: delete everything. Even if I got to change his password.
• 7:14
  Speaker 5: I'm changing it because I don't need the public to
• 7:16
  Speaker 5: know he's having an episode. You realize, you'd never know
• 7:19
  Speaker 5: about any other episodes since September thirteen because I control that,
• 7:24
  Speaker 5: because you're not going on Instagram, you're not going on Twitter.
• 7:27
  Speaker 5: It's deleted, you know, And I just control everything at home.
• 7:31
  Speaker 5: And now before the episodes come, I catch it. So
• 7:35
  Speaker 5: that's why he hasn't had another one. And how you
• 7:38
  Speaker 5: catch that is he doesn't speak to you, he wants
• 7:40
  Speaker 5: to be left alone. He don't eat, he does not sleep,
• 7:43
  Speaker 5: text messages, there's a period after each word, and I'm like,
• 7:48
  Speaker 5: you're going through an episode.
• 7:49
  Speaker 1: You're sick. No, I'm not. Ain't not wrong with me.
• 7:52
  Speaker 5: Why do you think that you're not speaking to me? Well,
• 7:54
  Speaker 5: there's nothing to talk about. I said, well, that's not
• 7:56
  Speaker 5: how you speak to your wife. And I'm like, you're sick,
• 7:59
  Speaker 5: and we snap out of it right then.
• 8:03
  Speaker 2: Okay, So this clip right here is what caused a
• 8:06
  Speaker 2: lot of the conversation. I've seen several think pieces since
• 8:12
  Speaker 2: this clip made it to the public, since this interview
• 8:15
  Speaker 2: made it to the public, And you know, I think
• 8:21
  Speaker 2: it's what I learned when dealing with people who have
• 8:27
  Speaker 2: mental challenges and you know, physical health challenges, is that
• 8:34
  Speaker 2: you're literally in a world of your own when you
• 8:37
  Speaker 2: are caring for those people, they're in the a world
• 8:42
  Speaker 2: of their own. Like I remember, you know, and my
• 8:45
  Speaker 2: mom's you know stuff is a lot different than Gucci's.
• 8:48
  Speaker 2: But because my mom had a head trauma, when we
• 8:53
  Speaker 2: called my mom's cancer was brain cancer first, and then
• 8:56
  Speaker 2: we tracked it back to lung. She had to get
• 9:00
  Speaker 2: she had to do a biopsy on her brain and
• 9:03
  Speaker 2: I remember, oh, for like the first four months after that,
• 9:09
  Speaker 2: just in trying to care for her, there would be
• 9:12
  Speaker 2: so many times and so many different things that she.
• 9:17
  Speaker 1: Would say and do and.
• 9:21
  Speaker 2: It was like it was it was so when Keisha
• 9:25
  Speaker 2: ky Or said, you're not she says, I'm not dealing
• 9:28
  Speaker 2: with Gucci, meaning like he's out of this is not
• 9:32
  Speaker 2: him right now. This is this is the you know,
• 9:34
  Speaker 2: the the health challenge that she's dealing with right now.
• 9:37
  Speaker 1: I really understood it because the way that my mom's.
• 9:40
  Speaker 2: Mental was set up for some time and she's I
• 9:43
  Speaker 2: don't she's good, but I wouldn't say she's one hundred
• 9:47
  Speaker 2: percent still. I think, you know, trauma to your brain
• 9:50
  Speaker 2: is trauma to your brain under so much duress, and
• 9:52
  Speaker 2: you know all the things, but there would be things
• 9:56
  Speaker 2: that she would say and I remember like having to
• 9:59
  Speaker 2: call FEM members and they would just be like, you know,
• 10:02
  Speaker 2: you just got to realize you're not dealing with her.
• 10:05
  Speaker 2: Even my friend, like I would call a friend who
• 10:07
  Speaker 2: had went through something similar with their parents, and she
• 10:09
  Speaker 2: would always tell me like, just remember this is you're
• 10:11
  Speaker 2: not dealing with.
• 10:12
  Speaker 1: Your mom right now.
• 10:14
  Speaker 2: And when your mom comes into her right mind, like
• 10:19
  Speaker 2: it's different. But even in reaching out to people, they
• 10:24
  Speaker 2: you just don't get it, like you're literally in your
• 10:26
  Speaker 2: own world because it's just you and this person. You're
• 10:30
  Speaker 2: the only person that kind of understands, like you know
• 10:33
  Speaker 2: what the triggers are for whatever the health issue that
• 10:36
  Speaker 2: they're going through. You're the only person that understands how
• 10:39
  Speaker 2: to kind of get them into a state where you
• 10:40
  Speaker 2: can even talk them into understanding that they're having, you know,
• 10:44
  Speaker 2: these episodes and these issues that they're dealing with. You're
• 10:48
  Speaker 2: the only person that just can understand what you're dealing with,
• 10:52
  Speaker 2: to be honest with you, because no one else is
• 10:53
  Speaker 2: there every single day. So in listening to her speak,
• 10:58
  Speaker 2: those what she's talking about, people would never understand, like
• 11:02
  Speaker 2: the way that I'm seeing people react as if you know,
• 11:05
  Speaker 2: her method of going about taking care of her husband
• 11:08
  Speaker 2: is too much like it's too forceful, it's she's in
• 11:12
  Speaker 2: too much control. I saw people, you know, almost insinuating that, like,
• 11:17
  Speaker 2: you know, he you know, at this point, is under
• 11:22
  Speaker 2: a control that he has no power of, and just
• 11:25
  Speaker 2: various different things. And you know, for me, I've just
• 11:29
  Speaker 2: learned in these type of situations that when someone is
• 11:32
  Speaker 2: being treated health wise, you gotta give that person and
• 11:36
  Speaker 2: the person that is caring for them every single day
• 11:39
  Speaker 2: the room to do what they need to do to
• 11:41
  Speaker 2: get through every single day. What she is going about
• 11:44
  Speaker 2: doing and how she's going about doing it, we probably
• 11:47
  Speaker 2: will never understand it ever, because even in talking to them,
• 11:52
  Speaker 2: from the beginning of the interview to the end of
• 11:53
  Speaker 2: the interview, literally I remember saying to myself, this is
• 11:57
  Speaker 2: a lot deeper than people understand.
• 12:00
  Speaker 1: He is going through a lot more than people understand.
• 12:03
  Speaker 2: And thank God for Keisha kay Or because she probably
• 12:07
  Speaker 2: saved his life on multiple occasions. She talked about, you know,
• 12:12
  Speaker 2: one time where they had this condo on Miami, and
• 12:16
  Speaker 2: she said her biggest fear. She never thought that he
• 12:20
  Speaker 2: would hurt her, but her biggest fear was that he
• 12:22
  Speaker 2: would hurt himself. And one of her thoughts was he
• 12:26
  Speaker 2: may jump over the balcony of the condo in Miami
• 12:29
  Speaker 2: because of mentally what he was going through, and that
• 12:33
  Speaker 2: would keep her up at night. Literally, let's take a
• 12:34
  Speaker 2: listen to that.
• 12:35
  Speaker 5: It's scary, like like we had a condo where we
• 12:39
  Speaker 5: were on like the penthouse and I'm like, shit, is
• 12:41
  Speaker 5: he gonna jump? Is the voice gonna tell him to jump?
• 12:45
  Speaker 5: Like That's the scary part, not me being scared of
• 12:47
  Speaker 5: him hurting me.
• 12:49
  Speaker 2: So for people to say she's doing a bit too much,
• 12:53
  Speaker 2: he gives sedated as if he can't make his own decisions.
• 12:56
  Speaker 2: I think, you know, what we're seeing is her having
• 12:59
  Speaker 2: to do exactly what needs to be done because she's
• 13:02
  Speaker 2: been fighting this battle.
• 13:03
  Speaker 1: With him throughout the diagnosis and all the treatment.
• 13:07
  Speaker 2: And she's working with the doctors like a lot of
• 13:09
  Speaker 2: it is just like mind your business. And I think
• 13:21
  Speaker 2: it's really unfair too that because I know Keisha ki
• 13:26
  Speaker 2: Or said in the interview.
• 13:27
  Speaker 1: I asked her, like, you know, what do you do
• 13:28
  Speaker 1: when you feel like the walls are.
• 13:30
  Speaker 2: Caving in because it gets there, it gets really really dark,
• 13:34
  Speaker 2: man like you, because.
• 13:36
  Speaker 1: You can't talk to anybody.
• 13:37
  Speaker 2: People react how you know, people are reacting right now
• 13:39
  Speaker 2: online where everybody has opinions about what you should be doing,
• 13:42
  Speaker 2: how you should be feeling, what the person should be doing,
• 13:45
  Speaker 2: what they shouldn't be doing, how they should be treated.
• 13:48
  Speaker 2: You're dealing with so much alone. And she said this.
• 13:53
  Speaker 2: She says she doesn't get help. She says she doesn't
• 13:56
  Speaker 2: talk to anybody. She's happy when he's happy. And I
• 13:58
  Speaker 2: completely understand that, but boy, it has to be heavy
• 14:03
  Speaker 2: because now on top of them, she did such a
• 14:06
  Speaker 2: good job for so many years keeping this in their
• 14:10
  Speaker 2: household and getting it to a point where he is
• 14:12
  Speaker 2: alive and he is he's well, and he's able to
• 14:16
  Speaker 2: you know, and he's in the interview speaking for himself.
• 14:19
  Speaker 2: Y'all are acting like this man's not sitting right here.
• 14:21
  Speaker 1: But she's done such.
• 14:23
  Speaker 2: A good job of protecting home and making it a
• 14:26
  Speaker 2: space where he can do what he needs to do
• 14:28
  Speaker 2: to continue to be well. But now they're letting it
• 14:31
  Speaker 2: out to the world. They're on this book tour, the
• 14:34
  Speaker 2: album is out. He's talking about things and That's another
• 14:37
  Speaker 2: thing as well too that I thought about. I'm like,
• 14:40
  Speaker 2: you know, there's so many different things that still trigger me.
• 14:44
  Speaker 2: And I wasn't a person that was dealing with someone
• 14:47
  Speaker 2: with mental health issues as you know, deep as I
• 14:50
  Speaker 2: learned that Gucci's was. But there are certain videos that
• 14:55
  Speaker 2: I you know, I was trying to log and like
• 14:57
  Speaker 2: keep up with, you know, everything that we dealing with,
• 15:00
  Speaker 2: and there's certain photos I'll see in my phone from
• 15:02
  Speaker 2: that time period, and it just takes me in a
• 15:04
  Speaker 2: whole different space. I can't imagine what it's like for
• 15:07
  Speaker 2: Keisha ky Or after this interview. She's getting a bunch
• 15:10
  Speaker 2: of positive feedback too as well. She said that, but
• 15:15
  Speaker 2: I know people are calling who didn't really understand how
• 15:17
  Speaker 2: deep it was. I know people are reaching out and
• 15:20
  Speaker 2: you know, apologizing for not being there as much as
• 15:23
  Speaker 2: they probably feel like they should have been after watching
• 15:25
  Speaker 2: this interview, and all of that is triggering, people expressing
• 15:29
  Speaker 2: their unwanted opinions. Everything is so it's triggering for not
• 15:34
  Speaker 2: only her but for him. And she again, she's there,
• 15:37
  Speaker 2: She's dealing with this every single day. I don't know
• 15:41
  Speaker 2: about y'all, but after sitting in this interview, and speaking
• 15:44
  Speaker 2: with them. One of the biggest things I walked away
• 15:47
  Speaker 2: with feeling is like, if ain't nobody else gonna do
• 15:50
  Speaker 2: it for you in your life when you get to
• 15:53
  Speaker 2: a point where you have no one else to turn
• 15:54
  Speaker 2: to and you don't even understand what's going on with yourself.
• 15:58
  Speaker 2: Because he knew something was not right, he knew we
• 16:02
  Speaker 2: needed some help right, but he wasn't at the point
• 16:06
  Speaker 2: where he wanted to deal with it and really dive
• 16:08
  Speaker 2: into it and see what exactly it was and learn
• 16:10
  Speaker 2: how to treat it. She came in, she said, and
• 16:13
  Speaker 2: was like, I'm gonna help him. If you ain't got
• 16:18
  Speaker 2: nobody else, baby, the way that your wife, your husband
• 16:23
  Speaker 2: is supposed to love on you. I'm like, man, this
• 16:29
  Speaker 2: is what it's about. Like, this is what union is about,
• 16:32
  Speaker 2: This is what love and family is about.
• 16:33
  Speaker 1: And I'm yo.
• 16:35
  Speaker 2: I just kept saying to myself, thank God for Keisha
• 16:37
  Speaker 2: k or like, thank God for her. And that was
• 16:40
  Speaker 2: my first time meeting Gucci. I don't know him personally,
• 16:42
  Speaker 2: of course, huge fan who is not a fan of
• 16:44
  Speaker 2: Gucci man, but just hearing him detail and hearing her detail.
• 16:49
  Speaker 2: She said one time he stood outside for twenty four
• 16:53
  Speaker 2: hours and would not come back into the house. Do
• 16:57
  Speaker 2: you know how just far gone his mind had to be.
• 17:04
  Speaker 2: And I'm just thinking, I'm like, this is Gucci man,
• 17:07
  Speaker 2: Like we look at him as a celebrity, all of
• 17:09
  Speaker 2: the you know, the cars, the jewelry, the fame, the
• 17:13
  Speaker 2: you know what I'm saying, and he is in such
• 17:15
  Speaker 2: a deep fight for his mental stability that she wakes
• 17:22
  Speaker 2: up one day and he's standing outside for twenty four hours.
• 17:25
  Speaker 5: There was one time he stood outside for twenty four
• 17:28
  Speaker 5: hours at the door, just standing. I said, get inside. No,
• 17:33
  Speaker 5: I said, did somebody give you a cookie or lacet?
• 17:36
  Speaker 5: What is wrong with you? Because I'm not even catching on.
• 17:38
  Speaker 5: I just want to stand up out here, he said,
• 17:40
  Speaker 5: another twenty four hours. So I said, okay, there's an
• 17:43
  Speaker 5: episode coming. I wasn't that good of a pro yet.
• 17:46
  Speaker 5: So the episode came like a week or two after that.
• 17:50
  Speaker 2: We had no idea. Think I'm like, yo, thank God
• 17:53
  Speaker 2: for her. She probably saved his life. So I don't
• 18:01
  Speaker 2: know what conversation you are having about this interview, but
• 18:07
  Speaker 2: I would say if your conversation is anything other than
• 18:11
  Speaker 2: I want a person I love who may be going
• 18:12
  Speaker 2: through this to watch it. I'm trying to watch it
• 18:16
  Speaker 2: for myself, you know, to see if I have any
• 18:19
  Speaker 2: you know, similar triggers or if I'm hearing things that
• 18:22
  Speaker 2: sound familiar, so like I can figure out like if
• 18:24
  Speaker 2: I'm a person that like potentially needs to go talk
• 18:26
  Speaker 2: to somebody whatever, you know, or just watching it with Hey,
• 18:30
  Speaker 2: I'm sending some love and some admiration, cause it is hard.
• 18:33
  Speaker 2: It's hard being Gucci and going through this. Think about that,
• 18:36
  Speaker 2: like it's not just like a it's hard for anybody
• 18:39
  Speaker 2: dealing with anything health wise. But imagine being a person
• 18:45
  Speaker 2: and people will say, like, I mean, he has all
• 18:46
  Speaker 2: the resources and the money and he can get to
• 18:48
  Speaker 2: the doctors.
• 18:49
  Speaker 1: Yeah, but you still gotta deal with it.
• 18:52
  Speaker 2: Once you go see the doctor and you get treated
• 18:54
  Speaker 2: and they tell you the mad you still gotta take
• 18:56
  Speaker 2: the meds.
• 18:57
  Speaker 1: You still got to wake up every day sometimes.
• 18:59
  Speaker 2: Feeling like what is life and why is life? While
• 19:03
  Speaker 2: facing your kids and your wife. Your wife is there,
• 19:06
  Speaker 2: and on top of that, the world is all up
• 19:08
  Speaker 2: in your business because of who y'all are. There are
• 19:12
  Speaker 2: so many layers to this. You cannot take anything from
• 19:15
  Speaker 2: this interview, but thank God for Keisha ky Or and
• 19:19
  Speaker 2: the patience and the love that she has for this man.
• 19:21
  Speaker 1: And thank God that he got to.
• 19:24
  Speaker 2: The point because also too, even if you remove Keisha
• 19:27
  Speaker 2: k Or from the situation, Gucci needed to get to
• 19:29
  Speaker 2: a point where we're sitting and having this conversation with
• 19:32
  Speaker 2: him that we were able to have and to be
• 19:35
  Speaker 2: honest with y'all, I felt like there was one I
• 19:38
  Speaker 2: asked him a question in an interview just about you know,
• 19:43
  Speaker 2: East Atlanta triggering him and some of the triggers from
• 19:45
  Speaker 2: his childhood.
• 19:46
  Speaker 1: Let's take a listen to that.
• 19:47
  Speaker 3: It does trigger me going to Eastern Mountay. Yeah, Like
• 19:50
  Speaker 3: stuff with my mom triggers me. We had a lot
• 19:53
  Speaker 3: of screen relationship stuff for my youth trigger me, you know,
• 19:59
  Speaker 3: old friendships. You know that once I there's a lot
• 20:04
  Speaker 3: of stuff can be triggered. I get, you know, some
• 20:05
  Speaker 3: songs even triggering me.
• 20:07
  Speaker 2: And I could tell, like, as I asked the question,
• 20:10
  Speaker 2: after hearing so much about like, you know, the triggers
• 20:12
  Speaker 2: and just how sensitive everything was in my mind, I'm like,
• 20:16
  Speaker 2: I hope that question doesn't trigger him, because it does
• 20:20
  Speaker 2: seem very temperamental and it's something that he's you know,
• 20:23
  Speaker 2: working through and it's new and him you know, going
• 20:26
  Speaker 2: on the press tour and everything. It's new And Kisha
• 20:28
  Speaker 2: even said in the interview and he said, you know,
• 20:30
  Speaker 2: this book kind of almost put him back in a
• 20:33
  Speaker 2: really bad space. He goes in and out of it
• 20:34
  Speaker 2: to this day. But he made me want to watch
• 20:37
  Speaker 2: what I what I was saying in that interview. But
• 20:39
  Speaker 2: it also made me think about like just moving forward,
• 20:43
  Speaker 2: like you know, on it was like a self account
• 20:46
  Speaker 2: of bit like I don't know, like I've been having
• 20:48
  Speaker 2: these moments lately where I'm just sitting and I'm thinking,
• 20:50
  Speaker 2: like is what I'm doing and how I'm doing it?
• 20:53
  Speaker 2: Like how is that helping or hurting people? In that
• 20:56
  Speaker 2: moment when I asked him that question, and you know,
• 20:59
  Speaker 2: there was no malice. I really, you know, after hearing
• 21:02
  Speaker 2: him say that in an interview, was wondering what other
• 21:04
  Speaker 2: things he may have discovered from his childhood that he's
• 21:06
  Speaker 2: had to reface.
• 21:08
  Speaker 1: In order to move forward.
• 21:10
  Speaker 2: But it didn't feel like he was ready to talk
• 21:11
  Speaker 2: about it, if I'm be honest with y'all. Didn't feel
• 21:13
  Speaker 2: like he was ready to talk about that fully. And
• 21:16
  Speaker 2: again it's a very sensitive thing. But it made me
• 21:18
  Speaker 2: think about, like, you know, just when you get on
• 21:20
  Speaker 2: these platforms and you're sitting in these interviews and you
• 21:23
  Speaker 2: know all the things like we have a job to
• 21:25
  Speaker 2: do and we're going to ask questions, but just understanding,
• 21:28
  Speaker 2: Like it's so crazy, how like now we're able.
• 21:31
  Speaker 1: To have the luxury to sit.
• 21:33
  Speaker 2: Back and think like them, Did I just disturb that
• 21:36
  Speaker 2: person's like well being for the sake of content? Like
• 21:41
  Speaker 2: I never want to be that person ever, ever, ever, ever.
• 21:45
  Speaker 2: And I've been seeing so many think pieces on this
• 21:47
  Speaker 2: interview and TikTok recap videos, and yo, I saw somebody
• 21:52
  Speaker 2: accuse Kisha ki We a voodoo and witchcraft because he
• 21:56
  Speaker 2: sat there and told y'all that his wife at one
• 21:59
  Speaker 2: point had to to kidnap him to make sure he
• 22:02
  Speaker 2: was okay and take him to the hospital to save
• 22:04
  Speaker 2: his life. And I'm like, do people not understand how
• 22:08
  Speaker 2: their words travel in what that could potentially cause? Like
• 22:14
  Speaker 2: just so many different things, And like, granted iin't perfect,
• 22:17
  Speaker 2: you know, I'm in real time like growing up and
• 22:21
  Speaker 2: learning and experiencing so many different things in front of
• 22:24
  Speaker 2: you guys, But man, I just want us to readjust
• 22:28
  Speaker 2: the conversation around this interview. And don't get me wrong,
• 22:31
  Speaker 2: I've seen so many great reactions as well that I
• 22:34
  Speaker 2: do want to highlight. I don't want to take time
• 22:36
  Speaker 2: just for the bs. I want to highlight some of
• 22:38
  Speaker 2: the great conversations that I've also seen. I posted the
• 22:42
  Speaker 2: interview to on my ex account, and I want I
• 22:46
  Speaker 2: want you guys to hear you know just how people responded,
• 22:50
  Speaker 2: just to that clip where Kisha ke Or talked about
• 22:52
  Speaker 2: deleting Gucci's apps.
• 23:02
  Speaker 1: Dang all the barbs in my mentions.
• 23:04
  Speaker 2: Nicki Minaj got mad too. I think Nicki Minaj got
• 23:07
  Speaker 2: mad at us as well. She has some things to
• 23:10
  Speaker 2: say about us following this Gucci interview. I'm trying to
• 23:14
  Speaker 2: get down my mentions to get to the reaction to
• 23:17
  Speaker 2: the Gucci interview, but I keep running into the barbs
• 23:20
  Speaker 2: being upset because of the way that we covered Nicki
• 23:23
  Speaker 2: Minaj's morning. I'll read the Nicki Minaj stuff, but let
• 23:27
  Speaker 2: me hear so Sunney Saturday shout out to Suney Saturday.
• 23:29
  Speaker 2: I wear a lot of her bag. She is a
• 23:32
  Speaker 2: black woman bag designer Fire Too, out of New York.
• 23:37
  Speaker 2: She says it's so beautiful to see Gucci mature and
• 23:39
  Speaker 2: share her story with safety of having his wife beside him.
• 23:43
  Speaker 2: They're helping so many people with this level of transparency,
• 23:46
  Speaker 2: Maimuna underscore. Joy on X said the transparency in this
• 23:51
  Speaker 2: interview highlights not only the love that they have for
• 23:53
  Speaker 2: each other, but also their love for the black community,
• 23:56
  Speaker 2: as they're literally saving lives by openly sharing his battle
• 23:59
  Speaker 2: and mental health.
• 24:00
  Speaker 1: Yo, I got.
• 24:01
  Speaker 2: I saw so many people in the comments having conversations
• 24:05
  Speaker 2: about like just like, hey, I have a family member
• 24:11
  Speaker 2: who needs to watch this. Hey, this happened to me
• 24:15
  Speaker 2: and I was able to go to the doctors be diagnosed,
• 24:18
  Speaker 2: and thank you Gucci for like opening up. I think
• 24:21
  Speaker 2: it's so different because, like again it's like Gucci has
• 24:25
  Speaker 2: been like the Boogeyman, Like he's like a mythical character
• 24:28
  Speaker 2: like he you know, it's it's big, it's music, it's celebrity,
• 24:32
  Speaker 2: it's you ain't don't don't mess with Gucci, you know
• 24:35
  Speaker 2: what I mean. Like it's always been that about him,
• 24:38
  Speaker 2: but now it's like it's it's vulnerable, it's honest. It's
• 24:41
  Speaker 2: him talking about shame, embarrassment him and him apologizing for things,
• 24:46
  Speaker 2: him explaining things that you know, even he says in
• 24:49
  Speaker 2: the moment he did not remember or couldn't control him
• 24:52
  Speaker 2: talking about how you know the medicines he's been prescribed
• 24:55
  Speaker 2: are helping him therapy, Uh, you know, facing you know,
• 24:59
  Speaker 2: his relationship, you know, or lack facing what wasn't perfect.
• 25:04
  Speaker 1: In the relationship that he had with his mother.
• 25:07
  Speaker 2: It's the maturity, I think, because there's so many people
• 25:10
  Speaker 2: that look up the Gucci and I think there's certain
• 25:13
  Speaker 2: artists of you know, just our time that have such
• 25:17
  Speaker 2: a big cultural impact, and Gucci Man is definitely one
• 25:19
  Speaker 2: of them.
• 25:19
  Speaker 1: And it goes from generation to generation and generation.
• 25:23
  Speaker 2: So to hear those people be like, look, I ain't
• 25:26
  Speaker 2: got it all together, and you know, there's points where
• 25:29
  Speaker 2: I'm weak and I'm out of control and you know,
• 25:32
  Speaker 2: and I'm this and I'm that. But I had to
• 25:34
  Speaker 2: get myself in check. I had to go do real
• 25:36
  Speaker 2: things to help myself. That's impactful. And I think that's
• 25:40
  Speaker 2: what a career, not that you know, this is something
• 25:43
  Speaker 2: that he's doing because he has to for his career.
• 25:45
  Speaker 1: He's really battling this in real life.
• 25:47
  Speaker 2: But you know, I started this by saying that I've
• 25:50
  Speaker 2: been thinking a lot about like dang and what I
• 25:53
  Speaker 2: and what I do every single day, Like how am
• 25:55
  Speaker 2: I helping people. Sitting in that interview and listening to
• 25:59
  Speaker 2: him be so honest about stuff and wanting to talk
• 26:03
  Speaker 2: about it and being excited that he's helping people through this,
• 26:07
  Speaker 2: I'm like, Yo, this is this is what the full
• 26:10
  Speaker 2: circle looks like. Like you start one way and you
• 26:12
  Speaker 2: end another, but you use where you started to reach everybody,
• 26:17
  Speaker 2: like the way church is supposed to be, like come
• 26:20
  Speaker 2: as you are. It's like a use everybody or use
• 26:23
  Speaker 2: everything to reach everybody. And that's like the beauty of
• 26:28
  Speaker 2: just black art too, Like hip hop and music intertwined
• 26:33
  Speaker 2: so many different people, so many different things, situations, all
• 26:36
  Speaker 2: of that. But when you think about artists that are impactful,
• 26:40
  Speaker 2: that are influential in hip hop and just the way
• 26:43
  Speaker 2: that they can sway audiences all over the world, when
• 26:47
  Speaker 2: those artists begin to do that and speak like realness
• 26:52
  Speaker 2: around tough situations like mental health, and it's just so
• 26:56
  Speaker 2: fired I see, and it's so fared because it's real
• 26:58
  Speaker 2: and it's authentic. And he didn't have to share this
• 27:01
  Speaker 2: with us. He did not have to share this with
• 27:04
  Speaker 2: us whatsoever. Because the way Keisha ki Or was holding
• 27:07
  Speaker 2: it down, I don't think we would have ever really
• 27:10
  Speaker 2: known the extent of you know what Gucci was dealing with,
• 27:13
  Speaker 2: because she has been just so good at creating that
• 27:17
  Speaker 2: space for him. He made the personal choice to open
• 27:20
  Speaker 2: up about his life about something that he battles with
• 27:23
  Speaker 2: day to day. Right now, I know this is like
• 27:26
  Speaker 2: probably like Lauren and the you're saying this on the internet.
• 27:29
  Speaker 2: Just let's just all be a little bit more thoughtful
• 27:33
  Speaker 2: as we're reacting to these conversations because the conspiracy theories
• 27:36
  Speaker 2: that y'all have, I'm just like, bro, what like, what
• 27:40
  Speaker 2: is happening? Please take me out of it. Please take
• 27:42
  Speaker 2: me out of the group chat, take me out of
• 27:43
  Speaker 2: this rabbit hole. But all in all, was a great conversation.
• 27:47
  Speaker 2: Make sure you guys go check out that full interview
• 27:49
  Speaker 2: with Gucci Man Keisha ky Or on the Breakfast Club.
• 27:53
  Speaker 2: It'll definitely change the way you think about, you know,
• 27:57
  Speaker 2: just dealing with people you love and very sensitive and
• 27:59
  Speaker 2: vuner situations.
• 28:01
  Speaker 1: I'm Laurna Rosa. This is the latest with Laura Rosa.
• 28:04
  Speaker 2: At the end of the day, I tell you, guys,
• 28:05
  Speaker 2: every episode my Lowriders, y'all could be anywhere with anybody
• 28:09
  Speaker 2: having a conversation about this. But y'all choose to be
• 28:11
  Speaker 2: right here with me. I appreciate y'all for that. I
• 28:14
  Speaker 2: will catch you in my next episode.
