Kevin Gates has made a series of explosive accusations against his estranged wife, Dreka Gates, alleging she stole money from him and accusing her of being a “goddess of manipulation and darkness.”
In his statements, Gates challenged Dreka to publicly acknowledge that they were married under Islamic law and claimed that their two children currently live with him. He also pushed back against what he says is a narrative being spread that paints him as a “deadbeat dad,” calling the characterization false and damaging.
Gates further demanded that Dreka stop mentioning his name in interviews, expressing frustration over continued public discussion of their personal matters. According to the rapper, he exited the relationship in 2020, saying he no longer wanted to be subjected to manipulation.
Dreka Gates filed for divorce last year after nine years together, officially ending one of hip-hop’s most publicly visible partnerships. As the situation continues to unfold, fans have been closely watching the back-and-forth, with reactions ranging from concern to heated debate across social media.
