Kevin Gates holds nothing back in this raw, hilarious, and surprisingly reflective moment while getting his hair done. From clapping back at online trolls over his hairline to breaking down why he’s embracing his “perfect imperfections,” Gates opens up like never before. He shares real talk on growing up, dealing with online hate, finding inner peace, and even his jail experiences — all while staying true to his authentic self.
This clip captures the duality of Gates: part philosopher, part street poet. His commentary ranges from spiritual energy (“crown chakra cleansing”) to childhood trauma, generational change, and what it means to be a man in today’s world. He even revisits a prison story involving a Mexican cellmate who lived by a cold code — loyalty, violence, and raw respect.
If you’re tapped into hip hop culture, street life, or just appreciate when an artist peels back the curtain, this moment hits different.
