Who is Kevin Gates’ wife?
Following Kevin Gates' public appearance with Love & HipHop: Miami's Jojo Zarur, speculation about his marriage to Dreka Gates began to swirl
Kevin and Dreka got married in 2015 and celebrated 18 years together in October 2021
In 2003, Kevin and Dreka Gates began dating, and in 2015, they decided to get married.Kevin's fans became enamoured with Dreka after she appeared in cameo roles in his music videos.Later, she created her own social media platform to share glimpses into her personal life.A friend of hers, Raheem, was the one who pushed her to start a social media presence.
He created the account and was like, 'Alright Dreka, you're live,'" as Dreka explained to The Source in 2016. In my head I'm saying, "F*CK!." My fear stemmed from the fact that I'd heard how harshly people criticised others, and I just thought, "I don't want to put myself through this."Her words were followed by the statement, "But it was crazy to see how many people knew about me and were just that interested in me. 'Wow, this is insane!' I exclaimed.
To which she replied, "No longer can you just play in the background; you are on front street."Additionally, Dreka co-founded the Bread Winner's Association, a record label with Kevin founded in 2010.
Kevin told Dreka he wanted to be a musician and the two decided to start their own label.
Kevin was "always recording, but he was just doing it in a room in his grandmother's house," Dreka told the outlet at the time.She did her research, however, when he stated that he intended to make a career out of it.
In the absence of a mentor or mentor-like figure to offer advice and guidance, it was up to me to learn everything I could about the business on my own. Just not going to happen, I'm afraid."We just kind of forged our own way," she explains.
Is the relationship still intact?
Rumors of a split between Kevin and Dreka surfaced in March 2022, following a cryptic post on social media.It was in the past for a reason. Do you not remember the smell of the arguments, your energy being depleted, your goals not being met, your money you could have made or your money you f****d up? F**k em. #CarryOn," Kevin wrote in the post. "At times, we miss our X's but it's in the past for a reason. #CarryOn."
On June 4, Kevin responded to a fan's question about where Dreka was in a video he posted to his YouTube channel.There must be some BS going on here because Dreka is nowhere to be found." Stop torturing and humiliating us like this. When people see you two together as a unit and as an example of Black Love, it gives them hope," this admirer wrote.
For his part, Kevin said, "I guess I lost a fan for making myself happy."On June 7, Kevin was spotted dining with Love and Hip Hop Miami star Jojo Zarur in a New York City restaurant.In a video, Kevin and Zarur can be seen holding hands as they walk away from the crowd of onlookers.
The release of Kevin's single, Super General, on June 9 appears to confirm their breakup.Kevin raps, "Made the 'Dreka' song, lied to the world while trying to protect her image" over footage of Zarur, who appears in the music video.
