After nearly a decade of marriage, Dreka Gates has officially filed for divorce from rapper Kevin Gates, citing “irreconcilable differences.”
According to court documents obtained by TMZ, Dreka Gates filed for divorce from Kevin Gates, citing “irreconcilable differences” as the reason for their split. She listed July 10 as the couple’s official separation date, just months shy of what would’ve been their 10th wedding anniversary.
If you’ve been paying attention, tension between the pair has been brewing for a while. And when Kevin Gates publicly “married” Brittany Renner and then divorced her just 52 days later, it wasn’t just social media side-eyes; folks were ready to throw hands on Dreka’s behalf.
In case you missed it: Kevin and Brittany Renner were doing red carpets, sitting courtside at basketball games, and even shared spiritual moments together. Kevin, who practices Islam, seemed serious. Brittany even converted. But in the blink of an eye, it was over, and fans were left wondering how Dreka was holding it together.
Turns out… she wasn’t.
Not only did Dreka file for divorce, but she made it clear she’s seeking joint legal and physical custody of their two kids, 12-year-old Islah and 11-year-old Khaza. She also wants spousal support and specifically checked the box requesting that the court not award Kevin any support in return.
Now, it remains unclear whether the couple had a prenuptial agreement. But what we do know is that Dreka wasn’t just a wife. She was Kevin’s manager, business partner, and steady force behind his rise in the rap game. For years, she was praised for helping him stay grounded through prison stints, mental health battles, and industry chaos.
But things started shifting publicly not too long ago. Rumors began circulating that Dreka had stepped out on Kevin with her female personal trainer, claims she later denied on Instagram.
While Kevin hasn’t made a public statement, a rep confirmed he won’t be commenting on the divorce.
Stay tuned… because something tells us more tea is on the way.
