Rapper Kevin Gates is facing serious legal and financial drama as his estranged wife, Dreka Gates, has filed for child and spousal support — asking for more than $70,000 per month combined.
According to court documents obtained by TMZ, Dreka claims that Kevin began “dismantling the financial foundation of their family” back in late 2021 by cutting off support for key expenses such as property taxes and their children’s private school tuition. She alleges that while neglecting family obligations, Kevin splurged on 18 luxury cars and a $4.7 million mansion in Calabasas.
The filings also reveal that the couple’s Mississippi farm is now in foreclosure, reportedly due to $7 million in unpaid taxes and an IRS levy. Dreka is asking the court to order Kevin to pay $27,193 per month in child support and an additional $46,274 in spousal support.
Kevin has allegedly argued that the two were never legally married — a claim Dreka calls “factually baseless.” She’s also requesting temporary primary physical custody of their two children, saying they’ve been in her care 95% of the time since 2023.
Kevin and Dreka tied the knot in October 2015 and share two children: Islah, 12, and Khaza, 11. Dreka officially filed for divorce in July, citing “irreconcilable differences.”
