Kevin Gates Faces Hefty Support Payments in Divorce
A family dispute means Kevin Gates may have to crack open his wallet for a hefty sum. The Baton Rouge rapper’s estranged wife, Dreka Gates, is seeking child and spousal support.
After nearly a decade of marriage, Dreka Gates filed for divorce in late July 2025. Their separation date was listed as July 10 and ”irreconcilable differences” was cited as the reason she was seeking the split.
At the time, she was requesting spousal support and child support for their two children, 12-year-old Islah koren and 11-year-old Khaza.
According to court documents, Dreka is requesting $73,198 per month in combined support. This breaks down as follows:
| Support type | amount (Monthly) |
|---|---|
| Child Support (Islah Koren, 12) | $36,599 |
| Child Support (Khaza, 11) | $36,599 |
| Spousal Support | Data Unavailable |
| Total | $73,198 |
Dreka alleges that Kevin has ceased paying for essential expenses, including school tuition and property taxes. However, Kevin Gates is now contesting the validity of their marriage, claiming they where never legally married. Dreka vehemently refutes this claim,calling it “factually baseless.”
