‘Rich People Just Running Out of Gifts to Give’: Fans Aren’t Impressed with Gucci Mane’s Birthday Gift to Keyshia Ka’oir

Gucci Mane caused a social media uproar on Thursday, Jan. 6, after surprising his wife, Keyshia Ka’oir, with a lavish gift in honor of her 37th birthday.

In the Instagram post, Ka’oir, who shared images and clips from the birthday celebration, uploaded a video of herself opening a wrapped gift from Gucci. While removing the items from an orange box, Ka’oir and party-goers were stunned to see bands of $100 bills and a single rack of $20s and $50s.

As the recording continued, Ka’oir dumped the pile of money on the table as her guests cheered in the background. In another video, Ka’oir confirmed the amount of money that Gucci gave to her for her special day. 

She said, while putting her money in a bag, “It’s a million dollars y’all.” The clip wraps up with Ka’oir asking guests if they wanted some money. Alongside the post, Ka’oir expressed her gratitude to Gucci for making this her “best” birthday ever. She wrote in the caption, “ONE OF MY BEST BIRTHDAYS EVER Thank u hubby @laflare1017.” 

When fans began viewing Ka’oir’s viral upload, many claimed that the couple was running out of gift ideas for each other, so they resorted to giving money. 

“They running out of gifts they better start buying each other stars or planets or something.”

“Pretty much they running out of stuff to buy each other.”

“Rich people just running out of gifts to give.”

“When you got everything you want it’s hard to find a gift.”

“They running out if ideas.”

In addition to the “gift” remarks, others mentioned how pointless it is for celebrity couples to gift each other money if they already have access to their partner’s banking information and live in one household. One wrote, “Am I the only one who thinks it’s weird when married celebrities gift their partner these crazy amounts of money? Like y’all are married.”

Another said, “I always wonder if celebs get tired of being gifted money or cars because technically she already had access to the money as his wife, lol.” An Instagram user stated, “What’s the point when y’all together and the money still in the household.”

This isn’t the first time Gucci has given money to his wife. Some of Gucci’s past gifts to Ka’oir have consisted of cash, cars and jewelry.

Still independent.

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.
