Kevin Gates is flexing his successful weight loss after shedding over 100 pounds.
He shared a video on social media of him praying, asking God to answer his prayers and let the weight “fall off [his] back.”
“God, please, let me lose this weight today,” Gates prayed. “I don’t want to be a fat rapper. I don’t want to have to make it uncool for people to be in shape and say stuff about them like they not fly cuz’ they are fly. When you fat and unhealthy, it leads you being bitten,r and I don’t want to be a fat, bitter rapper.”
The video ended with Gates stating he wanted to be “slim and trim like a bicycle rim.”

In the caption, he explained that “the video was taken on the 22nd day of April 2019” and that he “as over 300Ibs with a set of titties.”
He continued, “I was miserable, fat, and unhappy, and a junky. I had to find flaws in others to make myself feel okay – until you find true love for self – you can never truly love someone else – I love you all, I’m never looking back – slow motion is always better than no motion – hard work pay off break not a day off.”
In the comments section, one person wrote, “That 300Ibs was solid tho..definitely didn’t look it.”
“Yea, we respect our journey, but you might be right, but you was talking dat s**t during this time too,” another commented. “We needed data.”
“You did ya thang G shyt not easy I’m down 57Ibs since March this hard work, discipline and patience. BIG MENTALS!!!!”
Others commented that while they were proud of his weight loss, they also stated that Gates lost his mind along with the weight, referring to when he appeared on the Caresha Please talk show and gave details about his intimate relationship with his cousin.
