Gucci Mane, whose real name is Radric Davis, recently filed a Special Plea of Mental Incompetency. In it he explained he was in no state to “intelligently participate in the probation revocation hearing.” According to the document, the judge ordered Gucci into custody and immediately committed the rapper into a mental health treatment facility pending an evaluation of his mental condition.
This isn't breaking news, many are aware of this development. Those who have been discussing Gucci Mane in the press focus on the incident itself. Gucci Mane has received negative comments from the press regarding his 'alleged' ploy to keep himself out of jail. And they make these claims without any background information.
Gucci Mane's willingness to admit that he suffers from mental illness should raise awareness about the troubles that many people deal with, and must deal with alone. Surely Gucci Mane has support from friends and family, but beyond that, there has been a serious lack of support.
