Lorna Luft Shares Rare Update on Sister Liza Minnelli

The rapper (real name Radric Davis) revealed in his October 2025 book Episodes: The Diary of a Recovering Mad Man that he had been diagnosed with schizophrenia and bipolar disorder, which prompted a mental health episode in 2020.

“After that, I was like, ‘Man, I got to really just hold myself accountable and take care of my health,’” he said on an episode of The Breakfast Club. “I don’t never want to have an episode again. I’m gonna see a therapist, [even] if I have to take medicine.” 

In addition to his hope that his vulnerability would help others in need, Gucci Mane said that his kids Ice Davis and Iceland Ka’oir Davis with wife Keyshia Ka’Oir inspired him to seek help amid his episode.

“My wife was pregnant with my little boy,” he continued. “I don’t want to raise a family and then my mental health [is] gone. What if I have an episode I can’t come back from? So, I just started doing the work and started seeking help.”
