Kevin Gates’ outlandish claims are par for the course these days.
In a new episode of the I Am Athlete podcast, the Baton Rouge rapper told former NFL players Brandon Marshall, LeSean McCoy, and DeSean Jackson that he kept falling ill because he wasn’t being honest.
“From me not telling the truth, my throat chakra started getting blocked and I started getting sick, the 37-year-old explained at around the 50-minute mark. “I started having colds until I started opening my throat chakra and speaking the truth. I haven’t been sick since.”
He continued, “When I was living at the other spot before I moved here, I used to be sick a lot. Just weak and everything because I wasn’t speaking my truth. And when I’m not speaking my truth, I’m not living in my truth. And when you set boundaries, you’re showing love for yourself. It’s okay to tell people ‘No, not today.’”
While the hosts seemed puzzled, his comment about boundaries brought them back in. “It’s okay to tell people, ‘No, not today,’” Gates added. “But I had a fear of telling people, ‘No.’ Once you tell a n***a, ‘No,’ they act like you never told ’em, ‘Yes,’” to which everyone laughed.
Earlier in their conversation, Gates also revealed one of his rituals before being intimate with a woman.
“I pray before I have sex,” he said around the 17-minute mark. “I noticed what made me kind of shy away from talking about it is because when I talk to women it seemed like they was chasing after a fetish or they was seeking arousal or things of that nature. He said that they “really wanted clout from those type of situations and conversations but they don’t understand like when you with God [sex] is spiritual unification.”
These comments follow allegations he made earlier this year that he went almost a month without eating or drinking, and that he likes for women to urinate in his mouth.
