Keyshia Ka’Oir Fires Back at Nicki Minaj via Cardi B Clip Amid Gucci Mane Drama

Gucci Mane’s wife, Keyshia Ka’Oir, has responded to Nicki Minaj after the rapper accused her of keeping Gucci “sedated.” The tense exchange erupted following Gucci Mane and Ka’Oir’s recent appearance on The Breakfast Club, where they discussed his mental health and how Ka’Oir helps manage his social media use. The Lead-Up During the interview, Ka’Oir opened up about how she supports Gucci Mane through his mental-health challenges. She explained that she often limits his phone and social media access to protect his peace, saying: “You realize you haven’t known about any other episodes since September 13. That’s because I control that. … You’re not going on Instagram … I’m controlling everything at home.” Shortly after the episode aired, Nicki Minaj took to social media and aimed a series of harsh messages at Ka’Oir. Minaj claimed that Ka’Oir had been “trying to be me for years” and was “keeping Gucci sedated.” She also accused Ka’Oir of seeking attention and suggested that Gucci harbors resentment toward his former manager, Debra Antney. Minaj further criticized radio host Charlamagne tha God, calling him a “fraud” and accusing The Breakfast Club team of orchestrating “disgusting ploys.” The Response In what many saw as a subtle but powerful clapback, Keyshia Ka’Oir posted an Instagram video of herself vibing to a Cardi B track. Given the long-running feud between Nicki Minaj and Cardi B, fans quickly interpreted the post as Ka’Oir’s indirect response. She captioned the clip: “I’m like nah…….since when ….. out here embarrassing ….” The Bigger Picture The feud highlights how intertwined personal relationships and public perception can be in hip-hop culture. What began as a discussion about Gucci Mane’s mental health spiraled into a social-media firestorm involving some of the biggest names in rap. Ka’Oir’s response not only showed confidence but also hinted at where she stands in the broader landscape of women in hip-hop. While she didn’t address Minaj directly, her decision to use a Cardi B song spoke volumes. Why It Matters

• Mental Health and Image Control: The incident began with a genuine discussion about mental wellness and evolved into a debate about control, visibility, and influence.
• Industry Power Plays: It also exposed ongoing tensions between artists and their inner circles, showing how loyalty and rivalry often overlap in hip-hop.
• Public Perception: For Gucci Mane, the situation adds another layer to how his fans perceive his comeback story and marriage.

What’s Next It remains to be seen whether Nicki Minaj will escalate the situation or if Keyshia Ka’Oir will address the issue more directly. For now, her understated Cardi B post appears to have made its point — quiet, confident, and calculated.
