Kevin Gates has filed new court documents in the legal case where he kicked a fan during a performance last year. According to TMZ, the new papers say Gates is using the “Stand Your Ground Law” in defense for his actions.
An 18-year-old woman went to the hospital after the Baton Rouge, Louisiana rapper kicked her from on stage at an August concert in Lakeland, Florida. He was charged for simple battery. The Islah rapper says that the woman was grabbing at his shorts and he gave her a verbal warning to stop. She continued pulling at him, seemingly attempting to pull him off stage. Gates says that by kicking her, he used necessary force to make her stop and to defend himself from danger. He is asking the judge to dismiss the case.
Gates also addressed the incident in his song, “The Truth” and said at a separate time that the woman initiated the confrontation by her actions.
The “Stand Your Ground Law” has garnered much criticism as it has been used as a defense for violent actions. George Zimmerman cited the law in his defense for shooting and killing 17-year-old Trayvon Martin in a Sanford, Florida neighborhood in February of 2012. The neighborhood watchman said that the unarmed teenager attempted to beat him up and he fired his gun because he feared for his life. Zimmerman was acquitted in July of 2013 of second-degree murder and manslaughter charges.

why does kevin gates look like a dyke
I don’t know where you need to get your information from but you you niggas get on here and call your self trying toAssassinate this man character but dude really nice and then you bitch ass niggas talking about New Orleans in Baton Rouge you dont even know the difference in New Orleans in the city back roads son really putting in work.You thetype of niggas that Will make A niggaget some fucking time
Hope the case gets tossed He is one of the Best rappers out right now easily, No one in New Orleans is even close to his level He’s better than anyone out of Cash/Money including little Wayne excluding Drake. can’t help to be honest can’t hate on Drakes hustle. But the Morons out there that compare Gates to Young thug or Rich Homie Quan is insulting they are not even remotely close to the same style and Gates is a better lyricst/ Song writer/Artist and is miles ahead of those two. And Way better than future.
Wrong, he not from NO. Wrong, he not better than anybody from cash money, old or new era.
But it is Baton Rouge in New Orleans right and Kevin Gates is from there so is LilWayne
Wrong….Baton Rouge is not in new Orleans…new Orleans is about 40mins to a hour away
He’s a wack ass rapper but this was a smart move. If you can kill an unarmed kid after you were the aggressor and get off free with Stand Your Ground, this should be a no-brainier.
So anytime someone does not listen to you then you can just kick there face in shoot them or stab them? Sounds like a wonderful country but whats really fucked up is if the shoe was on the other foot and it was a woman who kicked a man in the face nothing would happen wouldnt of even made this article
