“Cut Off & Cashed Out: Dreka Gates Says Kevin Left the Family Hanging While Ballin’ Out”
Rapper Kevin Gates might be turning heads with his flashy lifestyle, but his estranged wife Dreka Gates is bringing receipts to court… claiming the Baton Rouge artist ghosted his financial responsibilities while stacking whips and mansions.
In newly obtained court documents by TMZ, Dreka is not holding back. She says Kevin started “dismantl[ing] the financial foundation of their family” back in late 2021. According to her, that’s when he allegedly stopped paying for core family expenses like property taxes and private school tuition for their two children, Islah, 12, and Khaza, 11.

While bills reportedly went unpaid, Dreka says Kevin was out here flexin’ hard… dropping major coin on 18 luxury cars and scooping up a $4.7 million estate in Calabasas. All flash, no family support, she claims.
Now, It gets deeper. The Gates family’s Mississippi farm is now in foreclosure, Dreka says, with the IRS on their heels for a jaw-dropping $7 million in unpaid taxes. In response, she’s asking the court to make Kevin pay up $27,193 a month in child support and another $46,274 monthly in spousal support.
But Kevin isn’t just keeping quiet. According to the legal docs, he’s trying to argue that they were never legally married, calling their union a “factually baseless position.”
That’s a bold move considering the couple reportedly tied the knot in October 2015 and Dreka officially filed for divorce this past July, citing “irreconcilable differences.”
Furthermore, Dreka’s also looking for primary physical custody of the kids, at least for now, saying the children have been with her “95% of the time since 2023.”
From power couple to courtroom clashes, the Gates drama is unfolding with millions on the line and a family caught in the crossfire.
