Kevin Gates and his legal issues
When Kevin Gates was 13 years old he was arrested for riding a stolen vehicle. He was briefly jailed for the offense. He said,
“If they would’ve just pulled up to the jail, left me in the police car, never took me inside and just took me back home, I don’t think I’d ever have done anything else again. But what it did was—by me going into jail at such a young age—all it did was criminalize me in a sense. It kinda steered me in the wrong direction after getting there and settling in; it took the fear of jail away from me.”
In the year 2003, he was involved in an altercation outside a movie theater and stabbed his opponent multiple times. Likewise, he was charged with battery for kicking a fan in the summer of 2015 while he was performing on stage at an event in Lakeland, Florida.
