Kevin Gates recently hit a YouTuber who tried to prank him in a mall.
Kevin Gates Smacks YouTuber
On Aug. 15, YouTuber Wayon shared a video that shows him pranking people in Westfield Topanga Mall in Canoga Park, Calif. During the video, which can be seen below, Wayon runs across Kevin Gates and a woman who are leaving the mall with a bunch of bags. Wayon approaches Kevin and tells the rapper, “You look like Kevin Gates,” around the 2-minute mark of the video below.
The clearly perturbed rapper responds, “Look, stop playing with me and get the f**k on out the door.”
Wayon apologizes but continues to pester the Baton Rouge, La. rhymer. “Can you say d*ck in that pu**y for me real quick?” Wayon adds.
At that point, Kevn has clearly had enough and hits the YouTuber in the back of the head and keeps it moving.
“Ah, Kevin Gates. What the f**k, Kevin Gates,” Wayon responds to being struck. “Come on, man. Ah, that hurt, Kevin. I didn’t appreciate that, Kevin. That hurt a lot.”
XXL has reached out to Kevin Gates’ team for comment.
