Rapper, Kevin Gates sentenced to 30 Months for gun charge

American rapper, Kevin Gates has been sentenced to 30 months in jail for a weapons charge. According to TMZ, the ‘2 Phones’ rapper on Wednesday pleaded to a felony gun charge after his bail was denied earlier this month, and was sentenced to 30 months in prison.

The sentencing comes just a month after the rapper was re-arrested after he was sentenced to 180 days in prison for allegedly kicking a female fan during a 2015 concert.

On the day of his supposed released, Gates was held back after police found that he had a gun charge pending and immediately threw him back into jail.

The 31-year-old rapper was found guilty of the felony gun charge.

Sources tell TMZ that the embattled MC will be transferred to the Illinois Department of Corrections.
