\nKevin Gates was a recent guest on Mike Tyson\u2019s podcast,\u00a0Hotboxin with Mike Tyson,\u00a0<\/em>where he opened up about some intensely personal topics.<\/p>\n

When asked how he got into the music industry, the Atlantic Records artist mustered up the courage to talk about his tumultuous and abusive childhood, which isn\u2019t necessarily anything new. But for the first time, he admitted he\u2019d been sexually abused as a kid and music proved to be his only catharsis.<\/p>\n

\u201cIt was an escape for me,\u201d he said. \u201cAnd I never said this in no interview or no podcast or anything like that. I grew up real, real violent and real aggressive. Not because I wanted to be, but I was molested as a child. So, I had this fear of being vulnerable. I took every kind of martial arts you could take. I even boxed; I did everything.<\/p>\n

\u201cI wanted to be the toughest person on earth. But writing and making music was always an escape for me. I never had the nuts to come out and say that. This is my first time saying this today.\u201d<\/p>\n
