Video Clip
Kevin Gates is not an artist known for biting his tongue, and the Hip-Hop community has definitely witnessed that several times.
One excerpt that has already started going viral on social media, however, features Kevin Gates' controversial take on the ongoing Black Lives Matter movement.
Kevin Gates makes it clear that he does not support the Black Lives Matter movement in any shape or form, and to justify his position, he brings attention to the violence and lack of support that he has seen in his own community.
"I don't support Black Lives Matter because who they matter to?" he explains. "We kill each other all day. We talk about each other all day. You know who talks about me the most on the internet? N*ggas. N*ggas. You know what's worse than a n*gga? Two of 'em! Make you don't want to be a n*gga."
"Yeah, man. It don't be nobody else talking about me. It be n*ggas — my own people that look like me," Kevin Gates continues. "Talk about me like a dog. Kick me when I'm down. Can't wait. 'Look at Gates!' Went to jail, they celebrated, clapped their hands, and was happy. I don't look at color and see race no more. I see real and fake — that's it."
Despite the polarizing nature of his statement, many fans have expressed understanding and support for Kevin Gates in The Neighborhood Talk's comment section. One user wrote, "I mean… I kind of see where he coming from…," while another commented, "He just stated an unpopular opinion BLM really do start with us."
Rising Atlanta-based rapper Omerettà The Great also shared her thoughts on Kevin Gates' perspective by simply commenting, "Facts."

He needs to stay the hell out of BR. There are people in this city that will put bullets in him just because they're jealous of his success.

Kevin Gates is a legit likable guy. He’s very honest in his interviews and calls it how he sees it without caring what others think. Also one of the very few rappers I can think of who is married with a family.

I think I first heard of Kevin Gates around 2007, maybe?
That’s an unbelievable shelflife for any Baton Rouge rapper.
This, as well, is unbelievable. Has he ever been offered the keys to the city?

He doesn’t. I’m not sure he sees the “sides” as you do, nor do most rational people.

Dude is MAGA AF and didn’t even know it. Swap out the words n*ggas for Democrats and it hits the same way.
