Kevin Gates was in the middle of The Really Good Podcast with host Bobbi, spitting bars in his deep voice — all gruff, no chutzpah — when out of nowhere, he picked up his phone to call his mom. He wanted to tell her he'd be late for dinner, and turned into the nicest man on earth.
The flip was so extreme, it's like his vocal cords gave up, and a customer service representative moved in. One minute it's street poet, the next it's "Yes ma'am, I love you too." In the video we can hear him saying:
"I am gonna be a little late for dinner. but I am still coming. I just started and can't really talk because they got me under investigation and surveillance. I have got the microphone on... After I finish I'm coming straight to you... I'm gonna come tonight. Love You. Bye."
As soon as the video went viral, an X user commented:
"Bro is PURE comedy"
Someone on X witnessed Kevin Gates' abrupt voice flip mid-interview and pronounced him pure comedy and, believe us, they weren't off the mark. One minute he's in full philosopher mode, the next he's speaking to his mom like he's five minutes from being grounded. The duality? Impeccable. The entertainment value? Off the charts.
The moment the clip of Kevin Gates' voice switch went viral, fans quickly turned it into a comedy show. Folks were laughing, quoting, and breaking down the switch as if it were some kind of a scientific miracle.
The comment section became a group therapy session for all who've ever transitioned from tough guy to "Yes, mom" when Ma calls. Let's dive into some of the reactions because the internet is fully entertained.
