    1. That’s sooo brave for him to admit!!! That’s hard for black men to admit stuff like this because they already feel judged!!! But jail be doing a number on our black men’s mental health!! Especially when you do a lot of years straight or here and there!!! I have a nephew who struggles with this and an ex who refuses to do the work to get better!!! I had to go… 😢

    2. People acting like him admitting that is a surprise . These ninjas always said Gucci was crazy literally. We all knew it but tries to pretend he was just a real thug.

    3. If you talk out loud to yourself but you're mentally stable after enduring long periods of confinement and isolation it's not schizophrenia. It's a symptom of the conditions you've endured. It's documented in prisoners of war that experienced similar environments.
