Kevin Gates appeared on ‘Big Facts’ on Revolt and spoke about his life and family. While talking to Big Bank, Gates went on to say he was dealing with depression last year, which caused him to shut down his Instagram and take a step back. Now, Gates revealed feelings he had during his depression, being very candid in the process.
The rapper went on to say, “When I disabled my Instagram, this is my first time speaking about this. I hadn’t put on my Twitter all my friends and my family forgive me I love you all, it’s over it, see I don’t do the ‘man I’m about to kill myself,’ I don’t want no attention, I don’t do no horseplaying, that’s horseplaying when you talk about it.”
From there, Gates talked about the pressure he felt as the head of his family and also noted a conversation he had with himself in the mirror made him change his mind about taking his life. Gates said a fan walked up to him while he was at the gym and said, “your music is the only thing that makes this crazy world makes sense.” The rapper noted the emotional exchange between him and the fan also contributed to him not taking his life, saying the moment was divine intervention.
