Kevin Gates' wife Dreka took to Instagram today to post a note about his reported detention after he was scheduled to be released from jail yesterday. The Baton Rouge rapper was found guilty of misdemeanor battery in October of last year for kicking a 19-year-old audience member in the chest in 2015. After serving five months of an 180-day sentence in Florida's Polk County Jail, his release yesterday was delayed due to an outstanding warrant for a weapons charge in Cooks County, Illinois.
