Kevin Gates’ mom was married to Kevin Gilyard Snr. The pair met while they were in high school and fell in love. Their love blossomed intensely. After dating for several years, the love birds tied the knot and eventually started a family together.

Marriage, for some, is a bed of roses, but for Martha, it was a bed of thorns. After their nuptials, they had three children together, including Kevin Gates and reality set in soon enough.

Unfortunately, raising the kids became a struggle for Martha Green Gates as she was left alone to raise three children. While her husband struggled with addiction, Kevin Gates’ mom faced unspoken hardship and struggles. Despite the difficulties in her marriage, Martha remained committed to her family. She worked hard to provide a stable home for her children.

In addition to being Kevin Gates’ mom, Martha is also a big fan and supporter of Kevin. He often talks about his mother’s support through the years, and he can’t help but praise her for her sacrifices.

Kevin acknowledges that his mom has always been his emotional support system. He noted how she was there for him through his darkest hours, even in prison. The musician always thanks his mom for her unconditional love and support.

Kevin Gates is an American rapper famous for his storytelling songs. His songs revolve around his story as a street teenager determined to make the best of himself despite finding himself in a world full of vices. The famous rapper’s songs are a reflection of his street survival experience. 

While Kevin loves his mom and greatly adores her, he missed out on a relationship with his father, who passed away when he was fourteen. However, Kevin Gates has a family now and enjoys every bit of fatherhood with his wife and children.
