<p><strong>Kevin Gates</strong> wasted no time hitting the booth to address trending conversations surrounding his name! The rapper was recently in the cozy company of former <em>Love &; Hip-Hop </em>castmate <strong>Jojo Zarur</strong>. Immediately after, <a href="https://dev.theshaderoom.com/kevin-gates-says-he-took-a-break-from-social-media-because-it-was-causing-him-to-be-depressed/">questions began swirling</a> about the status of his marriage to <strong>Dreka Gates</strong>. And according to his lyrics, things between the pair might be on the rocky side!</p>

<h5 style="text-align: center;"><strong>Kevin Says He Lied In &#8216;Dreka&#8217; Song To Protect His Wife&#8217;s Image</strong></h5>
<p>About midway through the <em>Super General </em>freestyle, Kevin seemingly threw dirt on a previous romantic gesture. In 2020, the rapper penned a track for Dreka titled with her name. It featured footage of their wedding, two children, baecation, and everyday moments like car rides. But on Thursday, <a href="https://genius.com/Kevin-gates-super-general-freestyle-lyrics">his lyrics</a> indicated that the gesture was nothing more than a gimmick for her benefit.</p>
<blockquote><p>&#8220;&#8230;Made the Dreka song, lied to the world while trying to protect her image,&#8221; Kevin rapped. &#8220;Tell me you love me, I say it back; back of my mind, I&#8217;m indifferent.&#8221;</p></blockquote>

<h5 style="text-align: center;"><strong>Kevin Spotted Getting Cozy With Reality TV Star Jojo Zarur </strong></h5>
<p>Two days ago, a video surfaced of Kevin spending quality time with Jojo on a city night. The footage shows Kevin wrapping his arm around Jojo&#8217;s waist after taking pictures with fans. That same night, Jojo and Kevin engaged in conversation during a live video at what appeared to be a dinner table.</p>

 </div></blockquote>
<p>The status of their relationship remained unclear to the public. By the following day, Kevin took to his Instagram account with a slight warning.</p>
<blockquote><p>&#8220;I&#8217;ve been real positive with you guys and I just want you to know one thing,&#8221; Kevin said. &#8220;I&#8217;m not none of these old p***y a** rappers that walk around with security b***h a** n****s, if y&#8217;all play with anything I love&#8230;I hope everyone hears me, I&#8217;m ready to do a life sentence.&#8221;</p></blockquote>
<p>Kevin didn&#8217;t make it clear whom the warning was about, but it&#8217;s obvious Jojo felt the message. She reposted it to her Instagram Story with the message &#8220;play with me if u want to.&#8221;</p>

The former reality star confirmed that not only is she single, but so is Kevin!</p>
