Kevin Gates has no problem hitting a woman or three if they piss him off during one of his concerts.
Club 93.7 reports that the 2014 XXL Freshman Class member was performing in Flint, Michigan on Sunday, March 29, when he got angry at two women for repeatedly grabbing at his pockets. A small melee ensued before club security stepped in.
Moments later the rapper can be seen on video throwing multiple elbows in the direction of another woman, but it's hard from the camera angleif any of the blows land.
She later gave a statement claiming the rapper assaulted.
“I was physically assaulted by rapper Kevin Gates. He also put his hands on 2 other females who were alleged to have been reaching for his pockets. I was on stage and tried to hand him a bottle of patron while holding a red bull in the other and he decided to elbow me from behind several times and finish by swinging on me and i was pushed off the stage."
Gates should have his lawyers on deck because this might cost him financially.
Singer Michel'le recently sat down with VladTV and opened up about her past relationship with super-producer Dr. Dre, revealing that she was not only severely beaten by the Compton beatsmith, but that in a fit of rage, he actually attempted to shoot her in their home.
After a discussion surrounding her son with Dre and his many other children, Michel'le reveals that after a night of partying, she and Dre got into a fight that became so heated, he went for his gun. The "No More Lies" singer then says she dodged the bullet by just inches after running into the bathroom, saying she knew his intentions were not to simply scare her with the gunshot, but to hit her. She also chose to leave the bullet lodged in the bathroom wall for a while just so he could see what he had done. She admits this was the only time he pulled a gun on her, but that the beatings were intense and it took a while for her to realize that there had to be something better for her out there.
Michel'le also shed light on Dre's infamous run-in with TV personality Dee Barnes, saying Dre was upset over how Barnes' 1990 interview with Ice Cube (who was at odds with NWA at the time) was edited, to where he appeared to diss his legendary group. After one-too-many, Dre saw her in a club and went after her. He followed her as she ran into the women's bathroom and proceeded to beat her, not considering that the show's editing was out of her hands.

PANAMA CITY BEACH, Fla. (Associated Press) — Seven people were injured, some critically, during an early-morning spray of gunfire Saturday at a spring break party on the Florida Panhandle, police said. An Alabama man was quickly apprehended and charged with attempted murder.
Multiple 911 calls flooded in just before 1 a.m., reporting the shootings at the house party in Panama City Beach, and deputies found a sprawling crime scene with victims inside the home, outside and across the street from it, and in the street's median, the Bay County Sheriff's Office said.
Officers set up a perimeter and found a suspect matching witnesses' description. David Jamichael Daniels, 22, of Mobile, Alabama, was charged with seven counts of attempted murder and jailed awaiting a first court appearance. A .40-caliber handgun believed to have been used was found in the yard of a nearby home.
By sunset on Saturday new renters, a family with Indiana license plates, had moved into the three-story, vacation-rental home located several blocks off the beach. The family did not want to talk to the media but said they were aware that multiple people had been shot inside the home less than 24 hours earlier.
Dozens of cases of beer filled the front porch of a neighboring house where loud music thumped inside. The young spring breakers renting the house said they were aware of the shooting but felt safe because it was not a random attack and the assailant was in jail.
Sheriff Frank McKeithen said a busy party full of dancing young people dissolved into "a chaotic scene." Daniels was free on bond on a drug possession charge in Alabama, the sheriff said, and was accompanied by two others, one who had been recovering from a gunshot wound suffered in Mobile last week.
The two companions to the accused shooter were questioned but not charged. A woman who declined to give her name answered the phone at the home of Daniels' relatives and said the family would not comment on the shooting.
At least three were critically injured: Kearria Freed, 20, who was shot in the head; Devanta Moore, 21, who was shot in the chest; and Henton Franklin, 22, who was shot in the side. Three others were listed in stable condition: Jacole Young, 22, who police said was shot in the back three times; Kelli Curry, 21, who was shot in the leg; and Tykeria Ethridge, 22, who was shot in the neck and shoulder.
A seventh victim — Anesia Powell, 20 — was shot in the left arm, chest, and knee, and was undergoing surgery Saturday. No condition was given.
Three of the victims — Freed, Curry and Powell — are students from Alabama A&M University in Panama City Beach for spring break, university spokesman Jerome Saintjones said. He said investigators in Florida told the university police department the students were innocent bystanders.
University officials were sending staff to Panama City Beach to assist the victims.
McKeithen said hundreds of people have been arrested in recent weeks in and around Panama City during its raucous spring break celebrations. The masses of college students bring a parallel migration of unsavory visitors to the area and, combined with heavy consumption of alcohol, pose a huge challenge to officers, he said.
"We have a recipe for disaster," he said.
Eddie Tarter shares his back fence with the rental home. Tarter, who played ball with his young son in his driveway Saturday, has lived in the neighborhood for 16 years. He said he has had problems before with loud parties at the house.
"Never anything like this though," he said.
Despite the shooting, Tarter said he isn't against spring break.
"This is usually a quiet neighborhood."
Neighbor William Payne, who has lived in the neighborhood since 2002, said he had called the police many times because of loud parties at the house.
"I heard all the screaming and sirens last night and I didn't think anything of it at first because it is spring break."
Elsewhere along Panama City Beach, the party continued Saturday as hundreds of kids cruised up and down the main road, strolled the beach and gathered at hotel swimming pools.

There have been rumors swirling thatJay Zand his companyRoc Nationhad acquired the rights toTupac Shakur'smusic catalog of unreleased material fromEntertainment Onefor$384 million.
Talk of a new album from the late icon with features from Nas, Beyonce, DMX, Drake, Jay Z and more also surfaced, but according to Billboard there's no truth to either rumor.
However, the good news is that there is unreleased music on the way from Shakur, according to JAM Inc.'sJeff Jampol, who oversees the late rapper's estate.
"Almost an embarrassment of riches," Jampol told Billboard, listing "unreleased music, released music, remixes, original demos, writings, scripts, plans, video treatments, poems." And although multiple posthumous albums have been issued since Shakur's death (to strong sales and mixed reviews), Jampol and Whalley contend a wealth of still-untapped material remains -- the value of which can't be understated, considering 33.8 million Tupac albums have been sold in the U.S. alone since 1991, according to Nielsen Music.
"Some of [the material] is in bits and pieces, some of it is complete; some of it is good, some of it needs work," says Whalley, who has explored much of the archive. "But I think the work that is left can be completed, and is worth his fans hearing."

Police in St. Louis are looking for three black males who attacked a white train passenger after he told them he was too tired to answer any questions about Mike Brown's shooting death by a cop in nearby Ferguson.
The assault took place on a MetroLink train Monday night, March 23. The assailants first asked the victim, who did not want to be identified, if they could borrow his phone. After he said no he was then asked about Mike Brown.
The part the victim found most disturbing is that nobody offered to help him while he was being punched repeatedly.
"I think it was disgusting that no one...that people were sort of laughing and smiling about it," the 43-year old man said. "No one offered to help. No one attempted to call 911."
Police have surveillance footage of the three men involved in the attack and are attempting to identify them.
