On Wednesday, Dreka Gates entrepreneur and longtime manager of rapper Kevin Gates officially filed for divorce after nine years of marriage.

According to court documents obtained by TMZ, Dreka listed July 10 as the official date of separation and cited "irreconcilable differences" as the legal reason for the split.

The couple, who had become a staple in hip-hop culture both musically and spiritually, share two children, ages 11 and 12. In the filing, Dreka is requesting joint legal and physical custody of the children, as well as spousal support.

However, she also checked the box requesting the court to terminate its ability to award spousal support to Kevin Gates, suggesting a potentially amicable split or strategic legal positioning.

As of now, it remains unclear whether a prenuptial agreement was in place at the time of their 2015 marriage.

The divorce comes after years of public speculation about the couple’s relationship, with rumors of infidelity, separations, and reconciliations swirling in recent years.

Neither Dreka nor Kevin has made a public statement about the filing yet.
