Dreka Gates Files For Divorce From Kevin Gates

Dreka Gates has officially filed for divorce from her husband, rapper Kevin Gates, marking the end of their nearly nine-year marriage. The filing, submitted earlier this month, cites irreconcilable differences as the reason for the split and lists their date of separation as July 10.

Dreka, who has long been a key figure in Kevin Gates’ career, is requesting joint legal and physical custody of their two children, 12-year-old Islah and 11-year-old Khaza. In her petition, she is also asking for spousal support while requesting that Kevin not be granted the same.

The pair tied the knot in October 2015 but have been together for over two decades. Dreka has worn multiple hats in the relationship—serving not only as a wife and mother, but also as Kevin’s business partner and manager. Together, they co-founded the Bread Winners’ Association record label. In recent years, Dreka has branched out with her own entrepreneurial ventures, including a cannabis brand, a skincare line, and a wellness farm.

The divorce follows a wave of speculation surrounding the couple’s relationship. Earlier this year, Kevin made headlines for his brief marriage to social media personality Brittany Renner, which ended after just 52 days. Around the same time, Dreka faced online rumors linking her to a personal trainer—claims she publicly denied.

While Kevin has not made a public statement about the divorce, Dreka’s filing signals the end of one of hip-hop’s most high-profile partnerships. As the legal process moves forward, fans are watching closely to see how custody and financial matters will be handled in the coming months.
