Dreka Gates has officially filed for divorce from her husband, well-known rapper Kevin Gates, bringing an end to nearly a decade of marriage. The news has stirred up significant attention among fans and the entertainment community.
According to legal documents obtained by TMZ, Dreka submitted the divorce filing on July 30, 2025, at a family court in Louisiana. She cited ‘irreconcilable differences’ as the primary reason for the dissolution of their marriage. The paperwork also notes July 10, 2025, as the official date of separation between the couple.
As part of the filing, Dreka Gates is seeking both joint legal and physical custody of the two children she shares with Kevin — Islah and Khaza. She is also requesting spousal support, while simultaneously asking the court to revoke its authority to grant financial support to Kevin Gates.
The couple’s relationship has long been in the public eye, often praised for its loyalty, spiritual connection, and business partnership. Fans have followed their journey since they tied the knot on October 17, 2015, in Baton Rouge, Louisiana, after years of dating.
The divorce news comes as a shock to many, especially as the couple had previously been regarded as one of hip-hop’s more grounded and private duos. Over the years, Dreka and Kevin have not only raised a family but also collaborated professionally, with Dreka managing aspects of Kevin’s music career and brand.
While rumors of tension had occasionally surfaced online, the couple rarely addressed personal matters publicly, making this official split all the more surprising. Social media has since been flooded with reactions from fans and fellow industry figures, many expressing sadness and offering support to both parties.
The court proceedings are expected to determine custody arrangements, financial support, and the future of any joint assets or business interests. As of now, neither Dreka nor Kevin Gates has made a public statement regarding the divorce.
