Kevin Gates’ personal life has taken a dramatic legal turn that could have far-reaching consequences both in family court and potentially in criminal proceedings. The sequence of events that unfolded between April and July 2024 presents a complex web of relationships, religious practices, and legal obligations that warrant careful examination.
The Timeline of Events
The legal drama began to unfold publicly on June 7, 2024, when Basketball Wives star Brittany Renner appeared on REAL 92.3 LA radio station and made a startling revelation about her relationship with the “I Don’t Get Tired”rapper.
“We got married April 6 and divorced May 28,” Brittany disclosed during the interview, adding crucial details about Islamic marriage practices. “But there is a 90-day waiting period in Islam where it’s basically—you have 90 days to see if you’re pregnant, then he would be responsible.”
Renner, who identified herself as a practicing Muslim alongside Gates, explained that the waiting period serves dual purposes: determining pregnancy and encouraging reconciliation because “Allah wants you to stay married.” She emphasized that “During those 90 days, you are not to entertain anybody romantically.”
