Inside Kevin Gates and Dreka’s relationship
The Baton Rouge rapper and wife Dreka first got together almost two decades ago.
Back in October 2020, Dreka posted a tribute for Kevin, wishing him a happy anniversary. In the Instagram post, she revealed that the couple had completed 17 years together.
They would’ve completed 18 years of togetherness in October last year.
The couple tied the knot in 2015 and are also parents to two kids: Khaza Kamil Gates and Islah Koren Gates.
Back in 2020, the couple sat down for an interview with Complex, where Kevin talked about how Dreka was the pillar in his life.
“She is the truth of the truth. Show me a woman cut like this,” the rapper said praising his wife.
The 36-year-old rapper praised Dreka for always sticking by his side, even when he went to jail.
“Anything I tell her, she manifests it. She was able to forgive me for a lot of bulls**t that I was doing,” he continued.
When the interviewer asked Dreka if it’s easy for her to forgive people, she said: “It’s easy for me because I have a different understanding of what’s happening. I am not looking at it as this is something that he is doing to me. No, he’s doing that to himself.”

Rapper responds to fan asking about split rumours
Rumours about Kevin and Draka splitting have been rife since March 2022 after the rapper posted a tweet talking about missing exes.
Kevin, who often shares motivational messages, wrote: “At times, we miss our X’s but it’s in the past for a reason – do you not recall the smell, the arguments, the energy being drained, not reaching your goals, the money you could have made, the money you f****d up, the time you should’ve invested in yourelf – f**k em. #CarryOn.”
That gave rise to a ton of rumors about their relationship, with many fans even assuming that they had broken up.
Recently, the Big Gangsta rapper responded to a fan who was asking about his and Dreka’s relationship.
“Man, fall this peace and all that BS, where’s Dreka?” the fan wrote under one of the rapper’s videos. “Stop playing with us. Your real fans are inspired by you and her as a unit and example of Black Love,” they continued.
Replying to the fan, Kevin wrote: “Guess I lost a fan for making myself happy.”
At the time of writing, neither Kevin nor Dreka have commented about their relationship status. HITC has reached out to the stars for a comment, but at the time of the publishment of this article, we’re yet to receive a response.
