Kevin Gates was supposed to be released from a Florida jail last week, but instead of enjoying the sweet taste of freedom, the Baton Rogue, La. rapper has been extradited to Illinois and now waits in a Chicago jail.
He was locked up for battery after kicking a female fan named Miranda Dixon during his concert at Rumors Nightclub in Lakeland, Fla. back in 2014 after she tugged at his shorts.
Upon his release, it turned out that Gates was wanted in Chicago for twice failing to appear in court on a gun case from 2013.
According to the Tampa Bay Times, he faces gun charges as well as “aggravated unlawful use of a weapon” charge. His rap sheet includes “several gun charges from 2013 in Illinois, including aggravated unlawful use of a weapon.” A spokesman for the Cook County State Attorney’s Office said that he is due in court on those charges on Sept. 22.
