Dreaka Gates finally spoke after that video of Kevin and Brittany looking pretty cozy in bed together sent the internet into a frenzy.
When Kevin Gates and Brittany Renner popped up in bed together, the internet lost its collective mind. No warning, no context. Just vibes, books, inside jokes, and matching pillows. The now-viral video showed the pair laughing and reading side by side like a soft-launch couple in a rom-com reboot.
And fans had questions. Lots of them.
But while the world was debating whether this was just a fling or something deeper, all eyes turned to Dreka Gates, Kevin’s wife of nearly a decade and partner of over 20 years. And now, she’s finally speaking out, and her response isn’t what many expected.
“I no longer tour. Like that, I don’t do that anymore. But I see him as my best friend,” Dreka shared in a recent interview, calmly putting the rumors to rest with that earthy, grounded energy she’s known for. “We’ve been together since we were babies. Like we’ve literally been together for 20 years.”
And while social media might be ready to crown Brittany Renner, the new queen of Kevin’s heart, Dreka is choosing something different.
“To be honest with you, seeing us together, we are just really working on ourselves,” she continued. “That’s what I was doing. That’s what he is doing. But then again… he’s my best friend.”
The internet frenzy kicked off when Kevin Gates casually uploaded a clip from his Instagram Live. In the video, he’s vibing out to Soul For Real’s “Candy Rain,” which is smooth, nostalgic, and has all the right R&B feels. He pans the camera and shows Brittany Renner in the driver’s seat. The two are giggling, holding hands, and clearly enjoying each other’s company.

The timing of it all raised eyebrows. Kevin and Dreka have had an on-again, off-again type of dynamic, but they’ve also always shown deep respect, co-parenting love, and business partnership. They co-founded a label, built a family, and curated a whole lifestyle brand. Dreka herself has amassed millions of followers across social media for her content on wellness, motherhood, and her peaceful farm life.
But when the “laid up in bed” clip hit the algorithm, fans were split: some rooting for a new couple, others questioning whether this was a soft dig at Dreka.
