During an ESSENCE Now interview, bride-to-be Keyshia Ka’Oir opened about the moment she first met rapper Gucci Mane, which she called “love at first sight”, shared her pre-wedding excitement and why she can’t wait to become his wife. 

When asked about the pressures of other women being around her fiancé Ka’Oir told ESSENCE, “I completely trust him…we don’t have trust issues.” Ka’Oir goes on to talk about holding Gucci Mane down while he was in prison. “I saw so much in Gucci that no one else saw,” she said. “He’s extremely charming, he’s super respectful. I feel like whenever you’re in a relationship with a man they have to respect you as a woman, so he was worth waiting for.”

While discussing her upcoming wedding, Ka’Oir revealed that she did not have final wedding gown plans just yet but was confident everything would come together in time for the big day. She said, “…it’s a lot going on but I’m super positive and I have a lot of faith and I know I’ll get my dress on time.”

Ka’Oir also talks about supporting Gucci on his healthy fitness journey.
