Kevin Gates’ estranged wife, Dreka Gates, is seeking more than $70,000 per month in combined spousal and child support as part of their ongoing divorce proceedings.

According to reports from TMZ, Dreka filed for divorce in July after nine years of marriage, citing “irreconcilable differences.”

Court documents claim that since 2021, the rapper began to “dismantle the financial foundation” of their family, allegedly halting payments for property taxes and their children’s private school tuition. Dreka has requested over $27,000 per month in child support and an additional $46,000 in spousal support to maintain financial stability for their two kids.

The filing also revealed that the couple’s Mississippi farm is currently facing foreclosure following a $7 million IRS tax levy, further complicating their financial situation. In response, Kevin Gates reportedly argued that he and Dreka were never legally married, a claim her legal team has labeled “factually baseless.”

The couple, who rose to prominence as one of hip-hop’s most visible pairs, have faced growing speculation about their rocky relationship for years. Their professional and personal partnership had been a key part of Kevin’s public image and music career, with Dreka managing aspects of his business.

This latest legal battle comes just months after Gates’ brief marriage to social media personality Brittany Renner, which lasted less than two months. As the case continues, fans are closely watching how the court will address Dreka’s financial demands and Gates’ claims regarding the legality of their marriage.
