Kevin Gates currently has the world at his feet - he's never been in better shape in terms of his mind, body and soul. He's just released his sophmore album, I'm Him, and he's used that time to reflect.
Speaking to Men's Health, Kevin recounted what led him to want to go on a weight loss journey, and also what took him from just another rapper, to charting worldwide. “One word: commitment. But what really did it for me. I had my shirt off and I was holding my partner’s baby, and his baby tried to suck my breast. The baby kept going like this [*mimes head tilting, mouth open*].
"You know how babies open their mouth and do that? And I was just like: I am too fucking fat. I’m a fat slob. I need to lose weight. That was the most embarrassing shit. I’m a big gorilla, but I got feelings too. That shit hurt my fucking feelings.”
The rest of the chat is a great one, as he talks about self-improvement, as well as what he's done to make the changes. He says he wanted to be "slim and trim like a bicycle rim" which is a very poetic way to put it.
