Rapper iHeartMemphis, real name Richard Maurice Colbert, was arrested following a dramatic livestreamed standoff with Miami SWAT. His baby mama Coco Bliss has spoken out about his mental health, revealing he sounded normal during a recent call. Fans are rallying with prayers amid the chaos.
Oh honey, the tea is piping hot on this one! iHeartMemphis, the dude behind that viral 'Hit The Quan' banger, found himself in a full-on meltdown Monday night. He went live on socials for hours, racking up over 20,000 viewers as he ranted and trashed his place like it owed him money. 😤 Miami SWAT rolled up for a wellness check, and things escalated quick—cameras caught him pleading he wasn't armed before they took him down. No one got hurt, thank goodness, but he allegedly dropped lines like claiming he was God and spying on clouds in the sky. Wild!
Family had been begging for help days before, per CBS News Miami, and he'd been posting cryptic vibes online. Footage even showed Coco Bliss, mom to their little one Lael, trying to calm things as cops arrived. Post-arrest, he's at Broward Sheriff's Office facing charges for making written or electronic threats to kill and resisting an officer. They shipped him to a hospital for eval first—smart move.
Enter Coco Bliss, serving realness on IG and Snapchat. She dropped a pic of Memphis with Lael, begging for prayers, then updated that she chatted with him after lockup. 'He sounded “normal again” during their call and is willing to get help,' she said, adding she's scouting treatment spots once he bonds out. 'That’s why you never ever give up on the people you love… mental health is very real.' 💔 Their daughter's safe, the dog's chilling, but the house? Shattered glass, smashed furniture—total disaster zone. Coco and pals are scrubbing it up.
Critics in The Shade Room comments were diagnosing schizophrenia left and right, shading her for sticking around. Coco clapped back: 'The lease is in my name. I have no choice but to try and clean up as much as I can. The messier it is the more I’m going to have to pay.' And crucially: 'Memphis does not have schizophrenia. He is not diagnosed with any mental illness as of now. He is court ordered to go be evaluated by a psychiatrist.'
Online? Prayers pouring in like @yonnsss._'s 'He don’t need jail time he needs help!!!' and @fariesxmonet’s 'mental health is very serious, praying for him.' Some shade too, like mentions of past drama, but mostly support urging Coco to protect her peace. Is this the wake-up call that turns the page, or just another chapter in the mess? Spill your thoughts, roomies! 👀
