‘The Way He Loves You’: Keyshia Ka’oir Shares Video of Husband Gucci Mane Crediting Her for His Growth

The proverb “he who finds a wife finds a good thing” seems to be true in Keyshia Ka’oir and Gucci Mane‘s case.

The “Wake Up In the Sky” rapper turned over a new leaf in his life a few years ago and it’s all thanks to his wife. On Tuesday, July 14, the Ka’oir Cosmetics owner posted an October interview of Gucci deeming her as the “instrumental factor” in his growth as a person.

“My wife,” he responded to Breakfast Club co-host Charlamagne Tha God when asked what was the “biggest factor” in bettering his life. “If you can find you a wife man you found you a great thing especially a good one who gone like hold you to a high standard like push you to be your best self.”

“That’s like the deciding factor,” he continued. “Couldn’t have did it without her. Yeah, straight up.”

Ka’oir captioned the Instagram re-post with a heart. Her husband also commented a heart emoji underneath the clip.

During the course of Gucci and Ka’oir’s relationship and marriage, the rapper has lost 100 pounds, changed his diet and stopped drinking alcohol and doing drugs. Although the “Trap God” has credited his wife for his lifestyle change, Ka’oir declared it was Gucci who wanted to better himself.

“I have [been given] credit for Gucci’s style and swag now. But a man is a man no matter how good of a woman you are,” she told the Post in October 2017. “You cannot make him do nothing he don’t want to do. He was willing to change.”

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.
