… African Americans today. Socioeconomic status, in turn, is linked to mental health: People who are impoverished, homeless, incarcerated or have substance abuse problems are at higher risk for poor mental health.
Despite progress made over the years, racism also continues to have an impact on the mental health of Black/African Americans. Negative stereotypes and attitudes of rejection have decreased, but continue to occur with measurable, adverse consequences. Historical and contemporary instances of negative treatment have led to a mistrust of authorities, many of whom are not seen as having the best interests of Black/African Americans in mind.
“After you start doing it for a year, then it turns to two years,” said Gucci said of his sobriety. “Once I got out and start doing it, it makes me a better person, a better artist, it makes me all the way stronger.”
We’re proud of Gucci Mane and his progress and we can’t wait to see how his story inspires others to be honest about their mental state and seek the help needed to get better.
Now, Gucci has even more to smile about. He’s going to be a dad again!
The 40-year-old rapper shared the happy news that the couple was expecting by posting a photo of Ka’oir posing in black lingerie, with straps and lace outlining her baby bump.
“My wife pregnant my life is great @keyshiakaoir ❤️🔥🥶,” Gucci captioned the pic. Ka’oir shared a snap from the same photoshoot but of a different angle, cheekily confirming the pregnancy in her caption.
Back in 2019, Ka’Oir tweeted that she hoped to one day have a son with her husband, writing, “I think it’s time I get off birth control and have us the cutest lil baby boy.”
Congrats again to Gucci!
