Rapper Kevin Gates Denied Bail in Chicago

Troubled rapper Kevin Gates will remain behind bars after he was denied bail in a felony weapons case in Chicago.

The rapper was jailed in October 2016 after he kicked a 18-year-old woman in the chest for tugging on his shorts during a concert in Lakeland, Florida, in 2015.

Unfortunately, he kicked the wrong female. Miranda Dixon's mother hired an attorney after filing charges against Gates.

The hip-hop newcomer, real name Kevin Gilyard, was scheduled to be released from jail in Florida in March, but a last minute computer check turned up a warrant on weapons charges in Illinois.

The 31-year-old was placed back in his jail cell while Polk County (Fla) jail officials followed up on the warrant.

Gates was then released to travel to Illinois, where he turned himself in to Cook County officials with the understanding that he would be released from jail on March 29.

But instead, he was held in custody until a hearing at Bridgeview Courthouse on Wednesday, April 19, when the judge refused to grant the rapper bail.

The judge likely considered Gates' long criminal history in the decision.

The ruling means Gates will be housed in the Kendall County Jail until further notice, reports TMZ.com.

    I hate them glasses he has on in the first pic. My ex used to love those big bulky ugly glasses looking like a scammer. That used to piss me off so bad. Like we are at church why do you have on these clear prescription-less glasses ?

  • Canary Red™

    I can't stand him and I used to like him before he got "hot"...he debuted on Lyrica's song Feenin', but when I saw this dispicable bs I was disgusted with him and anyone who supports him. He is pimping his wife, Monica's "bff" and she think it's cute. I get so pissed ? thinking about what a bish he is for doing that to his fan - him and 50. Them the type of dudes who like men for real.

  • Dahl

    I wonder if the same will happen to 50 for t!t-punching the woman at his concert...

  • Soda

    I read that he pulled her on stage, whispered something in her ear, and got her to twerk. Apparently, all she needed was attention.

  • Wayup!

  • Kimberly Vontrese

    The use of the word 'female' as a noun really grinds my gears. It's misogynistic and is most commonly used by Black men, especially while speaking ill of Black women, e.g., " Y'all females are bedwenches." or " Females these days always got sum na say" or " I can't stand y'all females." SMH.

  • TaylorFinallyMadeIt

    This ninja had a relationship with his own cousin for years. He ain't too bright upstairs

  • Kimberly

    A monster really she was the one pulling and tugging these fans and groupies think they can do anything Kevin has said numerous times on interviews he does not like anyone pulling on him he gives disclaimers at his concerts not to do it u can't do wat u want yo ppl and then cry victim at the end of the day he is still a human being not property

  • TeeTee

    Thank you, he is not a monster. Far from one.

  • Birdman24

    I really dont like him, but he has bagged a great wife. Dreka is amazing inside and out. I just can not understand what she sees in this idiot. I pray he isn't her downfall. Because it happens to a lot of good women.

  • SuperScooper1

    Yup...He probably thought he was 'bout it until his bail was denied and he's in general lock-up with a bunch of men with nothing to lose. AND the Trump era is the WORST POSSIBLE TIME to get locked up. Perhaps he'll learn something in there and stay out of trouble from now on.

  • SuperScooper1

    He was probably just smoking Gorilla like James Brown was that time.

  • Tynamight

    Kevin looks doughy is one of those pics. They must be feeding him good...

  • Tynamight

    What # cousin we talkin'? First, second, third...? The farther down the line you go the LESS creepy it gets.

  • YellowSauce

    STAYS creepy ... NO family members period

  • T Kenny

    i see the teady bears still locked in the toy chest

  • http://batman-news.com MzTee

    I know folks shouldn't judge people based on looks. But, old boy looks off. Then, add to his 'special off-brand look, his behavior, and some of the crap he's said in interviews, I wouldn't be surprised if I read about him committing a serious crime years down the line.

    If I were a betting person, I'd bet a large amount of gwap there will be some type of sensational deadly crime story involving this dude.

  • KIm

    Good for this POS

  • J’aime Sucer

    those tats look awful. yuck

  • Queen of EVERYTHING

    I don't like Kevin but I dislike slavery even more. New slaves. This shitt is sad.

  • TaylorFinallyMadeIt
  • Luci Lu

    Kevin Gates is right where he should be. There was no need for him to kick that young lady that hard. Besides, Kevin should know that only rich thugs like Chris Brown, can routinely assault people, pay a fine and avoid jail time. But, one day, Chris' bullslhit will catch up with him, and he'll go straight to jail, just like O.J. Simpson.

  • KayCeiSoul

    Good. Keep his Auntie lookin' azz right there.
    He is a psychopath, and will continue to assault.

  • Crazy tee

    The man is crazy....he needs a full mental evaluation

  • Jussjess25

    Hes in the wrong business if he doesn't like to be touched". Sadly in that business for some reason weirdos want to touch so called celebrities", its just apart of the deal. The girl did not deserve to have her chest caved in for touching his sneaker. After having supportedhim by buying a ticket to his raggedy concert to listen to his devil music.

  • Libralovejustice

    He muslim

  • Coy little wink

    Only a problem if it's your 1st cousin as u can legally marry your 2nd cousin....

  • Shay AgainstallOdds Lowry
