Kevin Gates looks a lot different now than he did a couple years ago, and thats thanks to his impressive weight loss: Mens Health notes that in about two years, Gates went from weighing 310 pounds to his current weight of 215 pounds. In a new video from Mens Health, Gates reveals the initial motivation behind his near-100-pound weight loss, and it was apparently an incident that hurt [his] f*cking feelings.
In the video, Gates responds to tweets about him. One tweeter asked Gates how he lost weight so quickly, and he reveals: One word: commitment. But what really did it for me: I had my shirt off and I was holding my patnas baby, and his baby tried to suck my breast. [] I just was like, I am too f*cking fat, Im a fat slob, I need to lose weight. That was the most embarrassing sh*t. I mean, sh*t, even though Im a big gorilla, I still got I got feelings too. Man, that sh*t hurt my f*cking feelings. I said, I gotta lose some weight!'
Lately, it looks like Gates has been addressing multiple aspects of his overall health. He recently teamed up with suicide prevention organization Save.org on a new video for his song Walls Talking. Gates said upon releasing the video, Music has always been therapy for me. Anyone who is struggling out there should know they arent alone. I got you.
