Kevin Gates doesn't seem too concerned about having to pay his estranged wife, Dreka Gates, more than $1 million from the proceeds of his music catalog sale.
During a recent appearance on The TMZ Podcast, the Baton Rouge rapper addressed a judge's order requiring him to give Dreka a seven-figure payout amid their ongoing divorce.
When asked about the financial obligation, Gates made it clear that the amount wasn't something he was losing sleep over, pointing to how he's always treated the people closest to him.
"Anybody I ever loved, I gave them the world, so a portion? What is a portion to somebody that can give you the world?" Gates said. "I ain't mad at nothing. I'm blessed."
According to court documents as previously reported by Complex, a judge ordered Dreka to receive $929,341.50 in child and spousal support, along with an additional $150,000, bringing her total payout to $1,079,341.50.
The order also allocates $125,000 to Dreka's attorneys, $100,000 to her accountant Harvey Bezozi, and $103,000 to Judicial Arbitration and Mediation Services.
Meanwhile, Gates is set to receive $538,798 upfront and monthly payments of $225,000 beginning in October.
Gates and Dreka married in October 2015 and share two children, Islah and Khaza. Dreka filed for divorce in July 2025, citing irreconcilable differences.
Months later, she requested $27,193 in monthly child support and $46,274 in spousal support, alleging that Gates began to "dismantle the financial foundation of their family" in 2021.
Their separation has been contentious. Earlier this year, Gates questioned the legal validity of their marriage, claiming they were married under Islamic law rather than through a legally recognized ceremony.
He also accused Dreka of stealing money from him, including funds allegedly used to support a dispensary that closed shortly after opening. Dreka's attorney, Marty Singer, denied those accusations, calling them "completely false and fabricated."
