In a lengthy Instagram rant posted on Wednesday evening (October 26), Kevin Gates’ wife Dreka slammed the Polk County judge’s decision to sentence her husband to up to 180 days in jail for kicking a woman standing in the front row of a concert during a performance.
Posted alongside a video of the incident, Dreka wrote: “You mean to tell me that@iamkevingates kicked the girl in the red jumpsuit and knocked the breathe out her? Because that’s what she’s been claiming and testified today in court. If anything her friend choked the fuck out of her.”
The video appears to show Gates kicking in the direction of the complainant, but it is unclear as to whether or not serious contact was made.
“She claims she fainted, but yet she and her friend stayed at the club at the front of the stage even after this incident. She also acquired a civil attorney early on…what does that tell you? She also touched him FIRST (more than once) without his consent but yet he was the one sentenced to jail today for the same crime.”

Dreka reserved most of her rage for the judge, who she claims sentenced Gates to even more time than the prosecution team had asked for.
“She and her friend also had very conflicting stories and were tripped up in many lies today in the courtroom. It was comical and sad at the same time to see how desperate people are for fame and money. Not to mention the prosecutors wanted to give him 60 days with anger management and community service but yet the judge decided to give him 180 days?!?”
“Are you fucking kidding me. Inshallah justice will be served. #unjust#fuckery #polkcounty#smfh by the way, thanks for taking my husband away from our kids (sarcasm) #itsnotoverjustyet”
The clip got more than 200,000 views in the first 12 hours after it was posted.
