Kevin Gates Walks Into Restaurant Kitchen To Confront Manager After Chicken Isn’t Cooked Right

Kevin Gates Walks Into Kitchen After Chicken Isn't Cooked Properly

Sometimes you have to take actions into your own hands.

That could be what Kevin Gates thought when he confronted a chef and the manager because his chicken wasn’t cooked properly. He also walked into the kitchen, which was all recorded by one of the staff people.

“He in the kitchen, ya’ll,” she said. “He in the kitchen cuttin’ up. He want his chicken lightly battered, ya’ll. I’m shook. Kevin Gates is going off on the manager, ya’ll. He done walked up in the god d–n  kitchen.”

While the woman is talking, you can see the Louisiana rapper pointing to one of the cooks, as well as the stove. Gates doesn’t look angry in the clip, but based on his hand movements it appears he’s serious. 

There’s also a male voice in the background that yells “Don’t play no games,” but it’s not clear who said those words. 

Right now the 32-year-old is putting the pieces back on his career after being convicted of battery for kicking a female fan during a show in 2015. Afterward, he was sentenced to 180 days, which the rapper talked about during a recent interview in which he claimed his innocence.

“It kinda hurt me when people paint this bad negative picture of me like, ‘Well, he’s just this woman beater.’ How?” Gates asked.

“The girl, and I forgive her for this, ’cause I know deep down in her heart it gotta be some goodness in there, but you know what you did. You grabbed me … I stopped and next thing you know again you grab me. When I threw the kick, it never connected with you.”

Independent journalism still matters.

We hope this story was worth your time. For over 14 years, Atlanta Black Star has stayed Black-owned and independently run. We didn't get here by waiting on ad budgets that were never built to prioritize us. Our readers did that.

Corporate support for Black media has always been thin. Outlets like ours get roughly 1% of the $170 billion spent on U.S. advertising each year, and that margin is shrinking further as advertisers walk back the DEI-linked commitments they made in 2020. That's the backdrop. It's not why we're asking.

The wider picture isn't any steadier. Newspaper ad revenue has fallen more than 80% since 2005, and local newsrooms are closing at a rate of roughly two a week nationwide. When outlets go under, it's rarely the ones built to center a Black perspective from the ground up that get to stick around.

We know a request for support isn't why you came here. But without readers choosing to fund this work directly, the depth of reporting we can do at home and abroad shrinks along with everyone else's. If you're not in a position to give, that doesn't change how much we value you as a reader.

If you are able to, a recurring contribution does more for us than a single one-time gift, because it lets us plan the next investigation instead of just the next invoice. It takes about 30 seconds, no long form, no account. Thank you for continuing to support independent journalism and freedom of the press.
