00:00Kevin Gates accused of dodging bills as Draca Gates demands $70,000 a month in support.
00:06After filing for divorce in July 2025, Draca Gates seeks $27,193 in child support and $46,274
00:17in spousal support claiming Kevin dismantled the foundation of their family. She claims that he
00:23stopped paying for their children's private school tuition and property taxes, instead spending money
00:29on 18 luxury cars and a $4.7 million estate in Calabasas. Their Mississippi farm went into
00:36foreclosure following a $7 million IRS lien, while he maintains that the two were never
00:41legally married. Born in Louisiana Baton Rouge on February 5, 1986, Kevin Jerome Gilliard,
00:48known as Kevin Gates, rose from the Luca Brasi story to Isla, which reached number two on
00:53the Billboard 200. His music blends raw introspection with street-hardened grit.
00:59While his label, Breadwinner's Association, highlights his independence amid ongoing legal
01:04troubles and viral controversies. Draca co-founded Breadwinner's Association, launched skincare,
01:11holistic wellness, and cannabis ventures, married Kevin reportedly in 2015, and they
01:16quietly separated by 2022, a shift he hinted at in his 2022 single, Bad For Me. She filed in July 2025,
01:28citing irreconcilable differences. Draca's court documents allege that since 2021, Kevin diverted
01:35funds from family obligations into personal luxury spending, unraveling the life they built.
01:41She seeks $73,467 per month and primary physical custody of Isla, 12, and Kaza, 11. For years,
01:52fans saw them as a balanced couple grounded in spirituality and loyalty. Rumors, separations,
01:58and Kevin's 52-day marriage to Brittany Renner fractured that image, and the filings now expose
02:04financial and emotional cracks. Celebrity splits like Cardi B and Offset, Kanye West and Kim Kardashian,
02:12and Dr. Dre and Nicole Young, plus Tia Mowry and Corey Hardrick, show how fame magnifies private pain.
02:19The court must decide the validity of their marriage and Kevin's obligations and assets.
02:24IRS liens and foreclosures could force restructuring, affect tours and endorsements,
02:29shape custody, and set a precedent for entertainment marriages.
