‘How It Started’: Keyshia Ka’oir Shows Fans How She Pulled Gucci Mane

Fitness and beauty entrepreneur Keyshia Ka’oir walked her fans down memory lane with a flashback photo of herself in 2009.

The Ka’oir fitness owner posted a photo last week of her rocking her memorable mohawk around the time she first began dating her husband Gucci Mane. 

“How it started 2009 when I pulled @laflare1017! #TheKeyshiaDiorMohawk,” Ka’Oir wrote.

“#FunFact I did my own hair back then! Cut & style !!!! Lines & All!!!! Started many trends, but they’re overlooked 😂.”

Who could forget Ka’oir’s legendary hairstyle and glitter lipstick phase? Undoubtedly, the East Atlanta Santa didn’t. Ka’oir’s throwback photo garnered over 118,000 likes from fans as they all reminisced over her special hairdo. 

“Yasss.. you had all the girls rocking this hairstyle 🔥🔥.”

“I had the same hairstyle just because of you ‼️freshman in high school 😂😂🤟🏾.”

“This was when I fell in love with you. You’ve been an inspiration to me ever since, and I’m sooo happy for you and your family, Queen! You deserve it 💕✨.”

“Babyyyy this style was poppin in my chair … called it the ‘KEYSHIAHAWK.’ I miss doing hair sometimes.”

“The reason I shaved my head in 2014 😂😂 stayed googling your Mohawks.”

Gucci Mane also chimed in on his wife’s post, writing in the comment section, “Facts.”

The Wopsters are now beginning their next chapter together as husband and wife with a baby on the way, their first together. The mommy of three from a previous relationship announced her pregnancy on Aug. 14.

“I ain’t athletic, but on @laflare1017 D, I did gymnastics🤰👼🏽,” Ka’Oir wrote for her 884,000-liked post. 

The soon-to-be mother of four flaunted her baby bump in black lingerie and thigh-high stockings, completing the look with her 1017 chain that her hubby bought her, her wedding ring, and a diamond watch. 

Fans were elated over Ka’oir’s pregnancy announcement, and so was her man, for he also took to Instagram to announce his wife is expecting. 

“My wife pregnant my life is great @keyshiakaoir ❤️🔥🥶,” Guwop captioned his photo. 

The couple has yet to announce when their first child will be born or it’s gender. 

Independent journalism still matters.

We hope this story was worth your time. For over 14 years, Atlanta Black Star has stayed Black-owned and independently run. We didn't get here by waiting on ad budgets that were never built to prioritize us. Our readers did that.

Corporate support for Black media has always been thin. Outlets like ours get roughly 1% of the $170 billion spent on U.S. advertising each year, and that margin is shrinking further as advertisers walk back the DEI-linked commitments they made in 2020. That's the backdrop. It's not why we're asking.

The wider picture isn't any steadier. 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, it's rarely the ones built to center a Black perspective from the ground up 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.
