On social media, the rapper’s release has been met with excitement from fans, with the occasional sprinkle of shade.
Kevin Gates served nine months at East Moline Correctional Facility after being re-arrested for an outstanding warrant after he served five months for kicking a fan in Florida.
He still managed to keep up his musical momentum while behind bars, releasing By Any Means 2 with some help from his wife.
