Since filing for divorce last year, the road to a resolution has been quite rocky for Gates and Dreka. The rapper claimed their marriage was not legally binding and accused his ex and her family of stealing money from him.
The rapper alleges his stolen money was used by Dreka to open a dispensary that was allegedly shut down after one month.
Gates claimed Dreka was trying to paint him as a “deadbeat daddy” to their two children, calling her “a goddess of manipulation and darkness.”
