Kevin Gates addresses million dollar divorce payout

Rapper Kevin Gates has stated he is unbothered by a court order requiring him to pay his estranged wife, Dreka Gates, over $1 million from the sale of his music catalog. During an appearance on The TMZ Podcast, Gates expressed that he is not angry about the decision, noting that he has always provided generously for those he loves.

A judge ordered the payout to include $929,341.50 in child and spousal support, plus an additional $150,000. The total amount allocated to Dreka is $1,079,341.50, which also covers legal and professional expenses for her representation. Under the agreement, Gates is set to receive $538,798 upfront and monthly payments of $225,000 starting in October.

The divorce proceedings follow Dreka's July 2025 filing for irreconcilable differences after nearly a decade of marriage. The legal battle has been contentious, with Gates previously alleging that Dreka and her family had taken money from him, an accusation her attorney has rejected.
