Kevin Gates makes his first public statement regarding an incident where he reportedly kicked a fan from onstage during a recent concert in Florida. The response comes in the form of a song entitled “The Truth,” which was posted on World Star Hip Hop.
“Man in the mirror, you way outta order / Go to jail, who gonna look out for your daughter? / All in the news ’bout what happened in Florida / Posted on WorldStar on iPhone recorders / She grabbed my dick over and acted, I’m sorry / Two or three times I had already warned her / Edit that part out, I don’t like to argue,” he raps in the opening bars of the song.
The chorus for the song calls out the girl for her behavior.
“You should have respect for yourself / You a queen and you wasn’t respecting yourself / Ever been disrespected, you know how it felt / You don’t have to like me, go love someone else,” Gates raps.
Gates was charged with simple battery.

Kevin Gates has been charged with simple battery, TMZ reports.
The rapper allegedly kicked a fan in the chest after she was tugging on his shorts during a concert in Florida last month.
The police investigated the incident and decided to charge the Baton Rouge, Louisiana rapper.
(The original article in this thread was published at 8:00 am today, September 1, 2015 and is as follows.)
According to AllHipHop.com, an 18-year-old woman who was kicked in the chest by Kevin Gates during a performance over the weekend in Lakeland, Florida, was taken to the hospital shortly after.
The fan’s mother, Kristy Irelan, says she received a CT scan while at the hospital. Irelan also revealed that her daughter “passed out” following the kick.
“She told me that she was excited to see him and next thing she knows she was kicked in the chest and she was passed out…It pisses me off. I don’t care who you are- an NFL player, just a regular person or a rapper- you don’t come to anybody’s home town and kick anybody- she did not deserve that,” Ireland said, according to AllHipHop.com.
Amateur video of the encounter, which was uploaded to YouTube, shows someone touching Gates’ leg. He then kicks them with his right leg.
The Baton Rouge, Louisiana rapper has yet to respond directly to the incident, but did send the following message on Twitter shortly after his performance: “Kill me,when you see me – it’s dat simple”
It is currently unclear what the results of the teen’s CT scan were, and if the family plans on taking any legal action.

You call that a kick?
He’s done
Why are all these D list rappers always on this site !!!hiphopdx let’s to a little more digging on real rappers k-dot Big krit j cole that’s shit I want to read not these bitch asses that haven’t done 1 THING!!!!
This dude impressed me initially. He’s very cunning intellectually. However, I now question whether he’s nothing more than a talented recidivist. My opinion is not based simply on this particular incident, but his bizarre behavior over the past year. I question his psychological stability in light of his obvious intelligence and possible unfortunate uncontrolled anger. I wish no good on any man, but I seriously question if he’s capable of avoiding locked bars. He didn’t A-list toward a rapper as I hoped, and he continues to demonstrate problems with his internal control.
???? yes
He’s an Idiots not sure why he did that she was a fan and barley touched him. He is a great artist his music is surprisingly good but he’s clearly unstable and is ruining his small career.
Exactly very unstable,drugs will do that to you.So un professional of his Local ass and yes he’s ruining his small career.His music is OK but him as a person he’s a fuckboy.i surely hope he wasn’t trying to show out for Dreka slow ass.
I was an extreme fan. I’m highly disappointed in his actions over the past yr. This last thing was enough for me to remove myself from the fan list. It clearly explains by that little tug she did to his pants was enough to treat her like a harmful beast smh. Not cool Gates. Not cool

Dats fuckup man dats how u do ur fan wht if dat was ur sis or mom dats just fuckup
If dat waz any normal person on da street .nigga u going straight to jail so send his azz to jail ….and kick his azz
scumbag woman beater
Are you a retard? She pretty much sexually harassed him.
Where’s Al Sharpton when you need him ?
All of you motherfuckers in the comments are sheeps. I’m not saying that he didn’t overreact. He probably should’ve told security to kick her out but that doesn’t mean that this case isn’t a complete bullshit. Imagine what would happen if the roles were reversed: A female singer would be singing on a stage, a guy pulled on her skirt 3 times. Well, he probably wouldn’t do it 3 times because he’d be tackled after the first attempt, put in jail, charged with sexual harassement, labeled as a sexual offender and the singer would be described as a victim of harassement. These cases are just retarded and I don’t know how did society allow women to become so privileged.
He kicked the wrong girl. If u look u see a white girl grab him. He kicked the black girl with red dress. Explain that.
You’re reaching big time, Tred. One tug and the guy will be tackled, sent to jail, and his life turned completely upside down? Very slim chance that would happen.
You dumb??? A girl is still a girl.
First, fucking his cousin, then kicking his girlfriend out because she didn’t suck his dog’s dick, and now this. Kevin has to have some mental issues, no other explanation.
i heard about all that shit and if people still wanna defend this nigga after this then there is something wrong with them too! #stupidmuthafukaz
She touched him how she wanted to…so he touched her how he wanted to…
Battery is battery…..uunconcentual touching
“Allegations”??……………….not exactly just allegations when theres a clear video of the fucking idiot clearly kicking that bitch.
She assaulted him first
Wow this guy is the straight definition of an asshole !!
Still my boy gates for president
I don’t care if she grabbed his dick or not, you can’t kick a female like that!!! Stop going to the front of the stage where she is or have security remove her (easy). If she decides to sue this record will help her win dumb ass!
U are all crazy…if it was a male fan grabbing Nicki Minaj it would be harrasment since it’s a female it’s alright…fuck these bitches they should respect someone’s else private parts….
Hospital??? after kick like that?
vile bitch want some money, huh?
vile bitch? If the little girl grabbing his pants was such a problem for a supposed grown ass man, then he should have got security to throw her ass out. Thats what security are there for. Of course she gonna go to hospital, he assaulted her. If that was me id milk this situation to the last and sue this garbage ass, incest loving f@ggot for everthing he got.
Umm he kicked her in the head and she fell back ..you wouldn’t want your daughter to.go.get checked after that ?
Nowhere in the video did I see this girl grab his dick. He shouldn’t have kicked the girl in the first place. And nowhere in the video did he warn her about touching him. He said “dont touch my shorts” but that was AFTER he kicked her!! And I find it so funny that there’s another video out where several females was grabbing his dick and tugging on his shorts. He didn’t kick none of them in the chest!! If he doesn’t want anyone touching him then maybe he doesn’t need to be famous!!!
You guys are all dumb fucks, why is that bitch touching him in first place privacy people if she sue she’s going end up dead dumb bitch keep hands to yourself
His Kick was as girly as the chick he kicked.
I thought I was watching a 5 year old kick a dodge ball during recess.
Hahahaha
I think he was wrong for kicking her. But at the same time she shouldn’t have bend trying to grab his privates. I’m a kid, so don’t judge me. I’m a really big gates fan
Hey fuck Kevin gates fuck you fucking retard let’s see u spit rhymes like that cause you can’t bitch
He’s a punk who needs his ass beat. You should never hit a girl end of story that’s a coward move. He shouldn’t be famous if he doesn’t want to get touched. She should sue him for just being an ass
