Kevin & Dreka Gates Celebrate NYE Together Following Breakup Rumours

by

While breakups aren’t all that uncommon in the world of hip-hop, some hurt far more than others. For instance, seeing Blueface and Chrisean Rock declare themselves as single over and over again is much less painful than watching the demise of Kevin and Dreka Gates.

In the summer, the married couple surprisingly seemed to be going their separate ways. For his part, the rapper addressed all the drama in his “Super General Freestyle.” Throughout his lyrics, he raps, “Took the blame in interviews and made it look like I was trippin’ / Made the ‘Dreka’ song, lied to the world while trying to protect her image.”

After the song was released, listeners were waiting for a reaction from Kevin’s wife, though they never really got one. Rather, she used her social media account to show the world that she’s been in rest and relaxation mode. At the time, videos of her taking a luxurious bath as well as tending to her garden appeared on her Story.

Though the “2 Phones” hitmaker began sparking relationship rumours with Jojo Zarur in the summer, he and Dreka appear to have made up just as quickly as they allegedly ended.

At the end of June, cameras previously caught them hugging at an autograph signing, their two children in tow.

The next month, Dreka let the world know what she’s been streaming her partner’s Khaza project, even if it includes a diss aimed at her. Specifically, her favourite title seems to be “Scars,” though that may have changed in recent months.

Things have been relatively quiet between the Gates’ since the summer, though they stepped out on New Year’s Eve to celebrate. In videos posted to @theshaderoom, the pair obviously smiles ear to ear as they dance and sing the night away together.

“Now y’all should’ve known Kevin Gates wasn’t giving Dreka up,” one social media user concurrently wrote after seeing the clip.

Another person later chimed in with, “I can’t even judge Dreka and Kevin. I understand, I’ve been there too.” Additionally, someone else called out the mother of two for reuniting with her man.

“Dreka wild as hell back vibing w Kevin Gates. Girl the amount of times he has asked God to kill y’all kids to make [people] think he telling the truth is just crazy,” they comparatively pointed out.

Kevin Gates Reflects On Weight Loss Journey: “Hard Work Pay Off”

by

Kevin Gates reflected on his weight loss journey in a post on Instagram, Tuesday, sharing a video he recorded back in 2019 when he was over 300 pounds. Speaking candidly to his followers, Gates explained the harsh toll his body had been taking on his mental health at the time.

“This video was taken on the 22nd day of April 2019,” Gates wrote in the caption. “I was over 300lbs with a set of titties – I was miserable, fat, and, unhappy, and a junky.”

He continued: “I had to find flaws in others to make myself feel okay – until you find true love for self – you can never truly love someone else – I love you all I’m never looking back – slow motion is always better than no motion – hard work pay off break not a day off.”

Back in 2019, Gates had originally said that the decision to focus on losing weight came after one of his friends’ children, “tried to suck on my breast,” which he said, “hurt my fuckin’ feelings.”

As for music, Gates released his first full-length album since 2019, Khaza, earlier this year. The project peaked at number eight on the US Billboard 200 and includes a feature from Juicy J.
