Just when she thought she would get to see her “buddy” as a free man after 180 days of incarceration, Kevin Gates’ wife was given the sad news that her husband will have to remain in custody and extradited to Cook County, Ill. to face an outstanding weapons-related warrant.
Dreka Gates recently took to Instagram to release a statement thanking fans for their support and asking them to keep her husband in their thoughts and prayers. “To everyone that’s rooting for Kevin right now, THANK YOU, but PLEASE shift your thoughts, prayers, energy, etc. towards the idea of Kevin being home and enjoying life as a free man,” she wrote. “Do NOT dwell on the things that have been put out by the media. Their only goal in anything is to grab/seek attention, not necessarily to release information that is FACTUAL.”
This isn’t the first time that Mrs. Gates took to social media to discuss her husband’s interactions with the law. Last October, when he was sentenced to 6-months in jail for kicking a female fan during a concert in Tampa Florida back in 2014. She expressed her feelings on the sentencing and questions the victim Miranda Dixon’s motives. She stated in Instagram,
“You mean to tell me that @iamkevingates kicked the girl in the red jumpsuit and knocked the breathe out her? Because that’s what she’s been claiming and testified today in court. If anything her friend choked the fuck out of her. She claims she fainted, but yet she and her friend stayed at the club at the front of the stage even after this incident. She also acquired a civil attorney early on…what does that tell you?
She also touched him FIRST (more than once) without his consent but yet he was the one sentenced to jail today for the same crime. She and her friend also had very conflicting stories and were tripped up in many lies today in the courtroom. It was comical and sad at the same time to see how desperate people are for fame and money.
Not to mention the prosecutors wanted to give him 60 days with anger management and community service but yet the judge decided to give him 180 days?!? Are you fucking kidding me. Inshallah justice will be served. #unjust #fuckery #polkcounty #smfh by the way, thanks for taking my husband away from our kids (sarcasm) #itsnotoverjustyet“
