Kevin Gates Wife Dreka Addresses His 6 Month Jail Sentence
Kevin Gates wife Dreka is speaking out on behalf of her husband since he was convicted on Wednesday, October 26, for misdemeanor battery for kicking a 19-year-old fan, Miranda Dixon, in the chest. The incident happened on August 29, 2015 at Rumors nightclub in Lakeland, Florida.
Dreka Gates took to Instagram to address the incident in regards to the outcome of her husbands sentencing.
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 f-ck 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 f-cking kidding me. Inshallah justice will be served. #unjust #f-ckery #polkcounty#smfh by the way, thanks for taking my husband away from our kids (sarcasm)#itsnotoverjustyet

The “Time for That” rapper will spend 180 days in jail, even though the prosecutor only requested he serve two months. Gates is also still facing a civil trial, as the alleged victim is seeking money for damages.
Kevin Gates maintains that he was protecting himself after several verbal warnings to the young woman to stop grabbing at his genitals. He used Florida’s “Stand Your Ground” law as his defense during the trial, but to no avail it was not enough to convince the jury.
