Kevin Gates is an American rapper, singer, songwriter, and entrepreneur.
Kevin was raised mostly in New Orleans and Baton Rouge, in Louisiana. He is married to Dreka Haynes, with whom he has two children. He is a practising Muslim, and has gone to Mecca for Hajj.
He has evidently said that his father is Moroccan. It is not clear if this is accurate.
correction He shouldn’t be listed as Moroccan. There is no evidence and it seems very unlikely
Too much SSA to look Moroccan
Yes, but also his last name “Gilyard”. When his mother is supposed to be Puerto Rican, it’s unlikely that it’s her last name, so it must be his father’s name, which isn’t a Moroccan name at all. His father was probably just black American
correction his mother is Puerto Rican and his father was African-American. He is not Moroccan
He has claimed that his father is Moroccan
