Whewwww this book explains so much. Over all these years this man was struggling with his mental health and didn't know how to handle it. He numbed himself with lean, pills, and weed. Those close to him took advantage of him, took his money (Even his momma) and cars. When he was having an episode he made some of his most popular songs (pills and Icy). Those songs were made by his split personalities (schizophrenic), hence why he went by so many names, Guap, Icy, Gucci. How and where he grew up added to his mental health struggles. This book was raw, vulnerable and eye opening. Many people think he's a clone and you know why they think that....His own momma put that narrative out because she was trying to get a conservatorship and take over his money, although she already took a huge amount of money. she went through leaps and bounds to try to do it, but failed. Gucci forgave his mother, however never went to see or visit her again afterwards. He paid her bills and took care of her, but that was that. When she passed away, he didn't attend her funeral, he paid for the expenses. Boundaries are important even for those you love, because often they are the ones who hurt us the most. Soooooooo many talk junk about his wife, Keisha but she is the one who make sure he takes his meds, make sure he's surrounded by those who genuinely care about him, cares about his whole-being, and much more. I also didn't know that Gucci discovered so many artist, which give him zero acknowledgement (Nikki Minaj, Migos, French Montana, and so much more. He also highlighted how Drake and Waka was understanding of his struggles and gave him grace when others didn't. By him speaking out/writing this book, hopefully it helps others struggling with their mental health especially those in the Black/hip hop community. As a mental health professional, it helps in removing the stigma that comes from getting help or looking at symptoms/signs. He was able to see it in Rich Homie Quan, but unfortunately it was too late. The record label executives are dirty too, they played/play a huge role in the downfall of these artists while the collect the funds off their likeness/image/work. This book is a must read

Great! He has changed his life!
