Rapper Kevin Gates went viral on social media after he shocked fans by posting a graphic video of a woman giving birth on his Instagram story on Sunday.

The video in question, which was a repost from an Instagram account called @indiebirth, showed a woman named Kendra having a natural birth at home birth. Gates has 11 million Instagram followers. “The Most Beautiful thing on earth is the gift of Life,” Kevin wrote in the caption of the video, insinuating that he posted it quite innocently.

Some of the people who came across the NSFW video even assumed it was Kevin’s wife who was the one giving birth. However, that was not the case, and the original video was actually posted last month.

“Do not look at Kevin Gates Instagram Story. Trust me,” one person exclaimed on Twitter. Another said: “Why the f**k did Kevin Gates post that on his Instagram story?” “I just watched Kevin Gates Instagram story. My eyes,” a third exclaimed.

The video is no longer available for viewing on Gates’ official IG account.

His debut studio album, Islah, was released in January 2016. It peaked at number two on the US Billboard 200 chart. He also released a number of mixtapes, including Stranger Than Fiction (2013), By Any Means (2014), and Luca Brasi 2 (2014). Every one of them peaked in the top 40 on the Billboard 200 chart.

Gates was arrested for the first time in 1999 at the age of 13 for joyriding in a stolen vehicle. He lost contact with his father at a young age. They later reconnected as a teenager. When Kevin was 14 years old, his father died of complications from AIDS.

Gates married his longtime girlfriend, Dreka Haynes, in October 2015. The couple has two children, Islah and Khaza. In an interview in 2013, Gates hinted that he had children by other women. “I got some children. I’m real real close with them. I lay in the bed with them, hold them, love on them. It really doesn’t make sense to say [how many kids I have]. Not in a bad way, but it’s not like the public will ever get to see my children, and if they do see them, they aren’t going to know they’re mine,” he said.
