The Twitterverse It's full of Kevin Gates tweets. Your posts are even worth sharing on social media. But what makes you a celebrity and a rich source of quotable quotes?
Kevin Gates is an American rapper and singer from Red Stick of the Pelican State. Growing up in the neighborhood, he had to make difficult decisions in life even as a child. Despite this, he grew up with a love of art and music. Her rich life experiences have given her the wisdom that she now fully shares.
Let's learn more about this talented man.
grew up in the neighborhood
Born February 5, 1986 in Baton Rouge, Louisiana, Kevin Jerome Gilyard grew up in a less than ideal neighborhood. It was a volatile environment, not ideal for children. His mother, Martha Green Gates, raised him alone, but he didn't really spend much time with her.
Instead, he rushed into the street with his friends. He was subjected to social vices, gang wars, drugs and violence. And although he eventually met his father, he died when Gates was 17. They couldn't spend enough time together to form a strong bond.
Estableciendose
In high school, Gates met Dreka Haynes, whom he would eventually marry. Gates has told many times how meeting Dreka saved him from further involvement in gangs, drugs and violence.
He attended Baton Rouge Community College and exemplified academic excellence. However, his interest in rap and music took a lot of time, which caused his grades to drop. However, he managed to graduate from college and even earned a master's degree in psychology while in prison from 2008 to 2011.
When Gates and Dreka married, they already had two children, Islah Koren Gates and Kahza Kamil Gates. Dreka has also become a social media celebrity and is an active bookings manager. He helped Kevin start his own record label, Bread Winner's Association, in 2010. They are still happily married today.
at the top of the charts
Kevin's music career began in 2005 when he was signed to Dead Game Records, a local record label. Since then he has released 2 studio albums, 3 extended plays, 16 mixtapes and 28 singles. His songs are mainly inspired by his street survival experiences.
He is currently signed to his own record label, Bread Winner's Association, in partnership with Atlantic Records. In 2019 they released their second studio album "I'm Him". The album has 17 tracks and reached #4 on both the US Billboard 200 and the US Rolling Stone Top 200.
encounter controversy
Though he'd become quieter on the streets compared to his childhood days, Kevin still had several run-ins with the law throughout his career. He has been in and out of prison on criminal counts, including gun possession.
In October 2016, he was found guilty and sentenced to prison. Although he was sentenced to prison in 2016, he was paroled after more than a year for good behavior.
Despite her tough childhood and the myriad of controversies surrounding her life, she inspires other people to look their best. Here are Kevin Gates quotes about music, success, life and even tattoos. They can amuse you, inspire you, spur you on to action, or just make you laugh.
