Keyshia Ka’Oir and Gucci Mane Fans Deem Them the Poster Couple for ‘Love and Basketball’

Fans of rapper Gucci Mane and his wife Keyshia Ka’Oir just can’t get enough of their love.

Ka’Oir took to Instagram this week and shared a photo of her and Gucci at Thursday night’s NBA game between the Boston Celtics and Miami Heat. They were seated courtside in floor seats as the Heat beat the Celtics 115-99.

Gucci posted a photo of him and his wife flaunting their “drip” while at the game. The couple wore matching white jeans and Dior low-top sneakers. Ka’Oir sported a Dior utility jacket, while the “Wake Up In the Sky” rapper donned a Dior scarf.

“Drip 2 hard call the towel boy it’s a spill💦,” Gucci wrote on his Instagram page.

Ka’Oir captioned the photo of her and husband “Love & Basketball❣️

Fans once again gushed over the couple’s relationship and tight-knit bond.

“You guys are truly a powerful couple 💪🏽💕😘😘 I love it. Every where he go you right by his side ‘Black love.'”

“The smile she puts on his face is priceless. Never see him smile like that before. ❤️ they’re always together and I love it.”

“What a good looking couple! Ya’ll that dynamic duo the long way 👑👑.”

Ka’Oir and Gucci began dating in 2010 shortly before the rapper was sentenced to 39 months in an Indiana penitentiary in 2013 for federal drug and gun charges. However, Ka’Oir stood by the rapper’s side despite his legal troubles and waited for his return in 2016.

The former video vixen told Fader in 2017 that being away from Gucci during his time in prison was hard.

“Him being locked up over the years was hard at times, especially around birthdays and Valentine’s Day and Christmas,” Ka’Oir said. “Those days were a bit down for me. But I knew that he was going through more than I was, so I had to be strong for him. At the end of the day, he’s a human being. Even though I’m a woman, I never broke down. I never cried to him on the phone.”

Ka’Oir and Gucci tied the knot in October 2017. Their wedding, which was held at the Four Seasons Hotel in Miami, was estimated to cost $1.7 million. Their massive 10-foot wedding cake cost $75,000 alone and was created of 8,000 handmade sugar flowers and 2,500 Swarovski crystals.

Democracy needs journalism it can trust.

This election season, the stakes are higher than usual — and so is the pressure on newsrooms to soften their coverage, stay quiet, or just disappear. Independent reporting, the kind that answers to readers instead of advertisers or political pressure, matters more in a moment like this, not less.

For over 14 years, Atlanta Black Star has stayed independent and reader-funded. We have no corporate owner and no shareholders telling us what to cover or how to cover it. That independence is also our biggest vulnerability: nothing protects it except readers choosing to fund it directly.

Newspaper ad revenue has fallen more than 80% since 2005, and local newsrooms are closing at a rate of roughly two a week nationwide. When outlets go under in a moment like this, it's rarely the independent, reader-funded ones that get to stick around.

We know a request for support isn't why you came here. But without readers choosing to fund this work directly, the depth of reporting we can do at home and abroad shrinks along with everyone else's. If you're not in a position to give, that doesn't change how much we value you as a reader.

If you are able to, a recurring contribution does more for us than a single one-time gift, because it lets us plan the next investigation instead of just the next invoice. It takes about 30 seconds, no long form, no account. Thank you for continuing to support independent journalism and freedom of the press.
