During his Hotboxin with Mike Tyson appearance, Kevin Gates sports legend bonded over tragic circumstances. At the beginning of his interview, Gates promised to be open and authentic with everything he shared, and from the jump, he spoke about his introduction to music. While many rappers desire to be the next big star, Gates revealed that penning lyrics was “an escape” for him.
“I’mma say something, I never said this in no interview, no podcast or anything like that,” said Gates. “I grew up real, real violent. Real aggressive. Not because I wanted to be, ’cause I was molested when I was a child.”
