How old is Kevin Gates' girlfriend? All we know as rapper defends significant age gap

American rapper Kevin Gates recently appeared with his girlfriend Jelenny Tejada in a live-streaming session. The video created headlines after the rapper defended the alleged age gap of 13 years between him and his partner, which was in response to the criticism emerging out of their relationship.

The Neighborhood Talk obtained a clip of the live video, where Gates was spotted addressing the general public while 26-year-old Tejada was sitting beside him. Notably, Kevin is 39 years old.

The clip started with Jelenny seemingly saying something to Kevin Gates when he said:

“Man don’t no ni**a want no old washed up a** b**ch man. Don’t want a young hoe man? Huh? You don’t like it? Eat my di** man. Straight up. The fu**.”

The artist also stated that he does not care anything about whether people have issues with his choices. Furthermore, Gates continued, as he said:

“That don’t be nothing but that washed up sh*t on that like hey b**ch yeah, ni**a damn near yeah. Ni**a old enough to be your daddy. Yeah. Of course. Man, ni**a want some yeah. The fu** got more sister hey. Got sense enough to know how to list.”

Kevin has been spotted with Jelenny on various occasions over the last two months. Gates was previously married to Dreka Haynes, who applied for divorce in July this year due to irreconcilable differences. Vibe magazine stated that Dreka also requested spousal support and joint custody of their kids in the divorce filing.
