Southern rapper Kevin Gates may have some serious explaining to do after kicking a woman last month and being charged this week.

According to reports, Gates now has a battery charge attached to his name.

Lakeland Police Department has charged the Louisiana-based Gates, also known as Kevin Jerome Gilyard, with battery, according to a complaint affidavit filed Tuesday afternoon. LPD reported that Dixon intends to press charges against Gates. (10 News)

Buzz earlier in the day claimed Gates could receive a criminal charge.

Gates was not arrested but the Lakeland Police Department is investigating the incident. Officials will work with the State Attorney’s Office to determine if Gates should face criminal charges in the incident which was captured on video. (Orlando Sentinel)

The victim’s mother Kristy Irelan addressed the attack this week.

“She told me that she was excited to see him and next thing she knows she was kicked in the chest and she was passed out. … It pisses me off. I don’t care who you are- an NFL player, just a regular person or a rapper- you don’t come to anybody’s home town and kick anybody- she did not deserve that.” (WFLA)

According to reports, the incident went down during a Florida concert last month.

While performing at Florida’s Club Rumors, Kevin Gates took the stage in front of what appears to be a packed house. A fan standing front row is seen touching the leg of the Baton Rouge artist, which enrages him so much he’s seen kicking a fan in the face. (VIBE)
