Oct 26, 2016 Kevin Gates has been sentenced to 180 days in jail after a jury found him guilty of misdemeanor battery on Wednesday. The charges stemmed from an August 2015 incident, in which the 30-year-old rapper was filmed kicking a woman in the chest during his concert in Lakeland, Florida. Prior to this week’s verdict, Gates insisted he was innocent and was simply defending himself under Florida's infamous "Stand Your Ground" law. He claimed the victim, Miranda Dixon, was trying to pull him off stage by repeatedly grabbing his shorts from the crowd. Gates said that Dixon wouldn’t heed his verbal warning, so he used “necessary force” to ensure he wouldn’t be harmed. Why all my favorite rappers getting locked up? First Kodak, now Gates. @GateSXN
Oct 26, 2016 sucks for him, his album just went Platinum he should be enjoying the fruits of that labor.
Oct 27, 2016 Yeah it was probably the first album i loved this year, haven't played it in full in months. I'll hold the L, but Jeffery stays on repeat so other music gets forgotten/ignored
