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.
