Rapper Kevin Gates brings his marriage issues with his estranged wife, Dreka Gates, to the public with theft allegations.
In a video shared on social media Friday, the Baton Rouge rapper accused his estranged wife of stealing money throughout their marriage, reframing the breakup as a financial betrayal rather than a mutual fallout.
“N***as talking about money,” Gates said while addressing Dreka directly.
He claimed she filed for divorce only after he stopped giving her cash. According to Gates, that decision came after he discovered Dreka and members of her family were allegedly “stealing from me the whole time.” He did not provide documents or receipts to support the accusation, but his words moved fast online, igniting debate across hip-hop spaces.
Gates also pushed back against Dreka’s recent child support request. He said their two children have lived with him for the past two years, a claim that clashes with her October filing.
Gates argued the request frames him as a deadbeat father, an image he rejected outright. “That couldn’t be further from the truth,” he suggested, emphasizing that he continued providing money even after their relationship fractured.

The rapper added another layer by alleging Dreka was romantically involved with someone else during that period. His tone hardened as he labeled her a “goddess of manipulation and darkness,” then demanded she keep his name out of public conversation.
He also disputed the timeline listed in her divorce filing, which cites July 10, 2025, as the separation date. Gates implied the split happened much earlier, though he stopped short of naming a date.
The clash marks a sharp turn for a couple once praised for unity. Gates long credited Dreka as a creative partner and spiritual anchor, weaving her presence into his music and public persona.
Court records complicate the picture. Dreka has requested joint legal and physical custody of their children, Islah, 12, and Khaza, 11. She is also seeking more than $70,000 in combined child and spousal support.
Her attorney, Marty Singer, fired back quickly. He called Gates’ claims “outrageous and defamatory,” adding that they are “completely false and fabricated.”
With no evidence presented publicly, the dispute now sits between social media spectacle and family court reality. Fans remain split, watching a once-solid partnership unravel in real time.
