He didn’t stop there. He doubled down on his money claims, saying Dreka used his cash to open up a dispensary that flopped. Overall, he admitted that he’s tired of the false narratives and done being painted as a deadbeat dad.
“When you do interviews, don’t even bring my name up. Tell them about how you stole my money to go open up a dispensary and it wasn’t even open a month.”
Where Is Dreka In All Of This?
Dreka Gates hasn’t clapped back at Kevin’s rant yet. But before he popped off, she hit him with divorce papers in July 2025 after nearly a decade together. TMZ reported she cited “irreconcilable differences” as the reason for their split. On top of that, she asked for spousal support and joint legal and physical custody of their two children — Islah and Khaza. Dreka reportedly requested that Kevin pay $27, 193 a month in child support and $46, 274 a month in spousal support. At the time, Kevin called Dreka’s claims “factually baseless” and said they never legally married. But TMZ reports that the two actually tied the knot in October 2015.
