During the joint appearance, Coeur spoke candidly about supporting her husband when he had episodes and how she helped him manage his symptoms, which he kept away from the public eye.
“I delete his apps from his phone. The first thing I do is delete Instagram,” she said. “I delete everything. Even if I have to change his password, I’m changing it because I don’t need the public to know he had an episode.”
She continued to argue that she would control “everything at home”, blocking Mane from seeing anything on X and Instagram when she has an episode. However, she “catches” it before her husband can even have an episode.
“How do you explain it to him that he doesn’t talk to you, he wants to be alone, he doesn’t eat, he doesn’t sleep. Text messages, there’s a period after each word,” Caouir explained. “And I’m like, ‘You’re going through an episode, you’re sick.'”
She said that when Mane told her there was nothing wrong and tried to argue with her, she called him out and said, “Well, you don’t talk to your wife like that…you’re sick.” From there, Maney will immediately “snap out” his episode.
Maney then explained his behavior during his episode, noting that he once gave away personal items and money.
The rapper, whose real name is Radrick Delantic Davis, said, “I gave the jewelry to my friends. And they knew I wasn’t okay, they would take it.” “They were taking advantage.”
He said that during the episode, he felt as if he was in “psychosis” or a “distorted world”. He also said he heard “voices” in his mind telling him that people were angry with him when they were not.
