Dreka Gates Has Had Enough, Files For Divorce From Kevin Gates Following Split From Opportunistic Muslim, Brittany Renner
Egregiously horny rapper Kevin Gates is down another wife.
Dreka Gates, who has been married to Kevin Gates since 2015, has filed for divorce, citing 'irreconcilable differences in papers filed on Wednesday, July 30, TMZ reports.
In addition, she is also seeking joint legal and physical custody of their two children — Islah (12) and Khaza (11), and spousal support from the rapper. The celebrity gossip site also reports that she put a big fat check in the box, denying the court's ability to reward the Baton Rouge rapper with spousal support.
It's unclear if the now-former married couple had a prenup. News of The Divorce Comes After Brittany Renner's Divorce From Kevin Gates
Dreka kicking Kevin Gates to the curb comes a month after Brittany Renner, who converted to Islam to marry the man she admitted she was crushing on, also divorced from the 'Me Too' rapper just after 52 days of marriage.
'We got married April 6 and divorced May 28,' Renner told REAL 92.3 LA. ' I don't feel like it's a sucky situation because what is meant to be is always going to be.'
She continued, 'I followed my heart, and that's what more than most people can say, and I think when you do that, you get all the clarity you need, and there's no stone left unturned, and there's no regret […] A lot of people, their issue is, even just in dating, in marriage, it's people just don't give it their all. They don't just go for it. But I feel like when you do, you're at peace with whatever happens because I gave 100 percent.'
There's still the matter of whether their marriage is even official, being that Gates was still married to Dreka. Renner dropped the bombshell that they were married when she spoke about her abrupt conversion to Islam, crediting the religion for bettering her life.
'Islam has made my life better in every single category,' she said. 'And like my husband says, the closer you get to God, the more you get. Literally in every category of my life. I mean, dreams happen.'
She is back to her regular influencer self, and you couldn't even tell she once wore a full hijab and abaya to cover her features.
Dreka, who was the rapper's former manager and now ex-wife, spoke on their relationship as well as cheating allegations, claiming that she had a relationship with her female trainer.
'I HAVE to address this because it's really gone a little too far and I don't care for social media to continue to spread this misinformation,' she wrote in reply to a follower asking her why she stepped out on Gates. 'I have NEVER had any type of sexual or romantic encounters with my personal trainer or any 'hired help' and will NEVER. And just to make it CLEAR, sorry ladies but I am strictly [eggplant emoji] and I do not do plastic. I need the real thang! Please and thank you.'
Social media, of course, has thoughts on Dreka choosing peace and officially heading back to the streets.

Gisele Bundchen Was ‘Furious' With Ex Tom Brady For Taking a Shot at Her In Remarks About Parenting
Tom Brady's potshots at ex-wife Gisele Bündchen on social media are about to boomerang back in his face, sources tell the National Enquirer — because she's infuriated by his petty behavior and ready to hit back hard if he doesn't cut out the catty remarks. 'People have warned him that Gisele won't stand for it, but Tom's been sitting back and holding his tongue for too long and he can't do it anymore,' says an insider. Sources share the now-retired NFL quarterback hit a nerve with Gisele when he commented online that he was a better parent for sticking with the game so long. Tom said according to TMZ, he was 'doing the best possible thing for my family and my kids, by prioritizing my profession and teaching, by example, what it takes to be really good at your job, what it takes to follow through on commitments, what it takes to be a great teammate, and showing them, also by example, that work is a big part of all of our lives.' As readers know, Gisele was fed up with Tom prioritizing career over family and left him. They're now divorced, and the supermodel recently welcomed baby boy River with beau Joaquim Valente. Meanwhile, Gisele and Tom continue to coparent but have different philosophies on how to do it. 'Tom has a different take on parenting than Gisele and he's merely sticking up for himself. At least, that's the way he sees it,' says the insider. 'The more he reflects on it, the more cross he is about how she treated him during the marriage and how she complained about him pursuing his passion. He just had to say something. 'Word from Gisele's camp is that she's furious and thinks he's acting bitter and being a nuisance. Since they split, all she wanted was to do her thing privately — but now here's Tom needlessly stoking the fire with these statements.' 'Tom's pals are saying he should quit making these thinly veiled comments — or at least he should tread more carefully!'

Will Taylor Swift be the next Super Bowl halftime performer? Here's why fans think so
Did Taylor Swift leave her fans breadcrumbs indicating she will be heading to her third Super Bowl in three years, but this time as the halftime entertainer? It's possible the timing could be right for the singer. In 2022, TMZ reported that sources with direct knowledge said the singer was asked to perform, but "she didn't want to perform until she finished rerecording all of her first six albums." In May, the "Showgirl" announced she had purchased her entire catalog from Shamrock Capital, telling fans all of her music belonged to her. And now fans think there were clues during her recent appearance on the "New Heights" podcast that pointed toward Miss Americana bringing her 12 eras to Levi's Stadium in Santa Clara, California, on Feb. 8. Swift told Jason Kelce that she's "really talking about bread 60% of the time" before diving into the sourdough loaves she bakes and comes up with clever puns for like "Are you bready for it?" or "It's a loaf story, baby just say yeast," connecting her songs to the baked buns. Turns out the mascot of the 49ers is Sourdough Sam and this year the 49ers stadium will host Super Bowl 60. Taylor Swift at Super Bowl 59: Her outfit, her suite mates from Ice Spice to the Kelce fam When Swift explained her football knowledge prior to dating Travis Kelce, she mentioned the entertainment spectacle: "I've known every halftime show from the Super Bowls, but I didn't watch the sports." The singer-songwriter plans for events, album releases and Easter egg clues years in advance. Whether Swift hoped to have her rerecords finished by 2026 or buy back her masters, she wore an Erin Andrews jacket to Super Bowl 58 with the number "60" on the back. Plus, Travis Kelce is about to begin his 13th season in the NFL. The singer's team did not respond immediately to an email requesting comment. Last year, Kendrick Lamar was announced as the halftime entertainer in early September. Follow Bryan West, the USA TODAY Network's Taylor Swift reporter, on Instagram, TikTok and X as @BryanWestTV.
