Kevin Gates is a believer that the dad bod craze was real.

The dad bod might not have just been a phase that took over the internet. According to rapper Kevin Gates, women might have liked him better when he was sporting the dad bod.

Recently, Gates has been working on his health and has shown a real dedication to improving himself. This has become apparent on Instagram as the rapper has given plenty of updates and even some workouts. Gates’ 9.1 million followers on social media have been given some tips and exercises to try.

Another Instagram video was of Adrienne Bailon explaining how Gates feels women preferred the dad bod. Gates believes this is because the pressure is taken off of them and it stems down to their own insecurities. You can check out the full video below.

This has not been confirmed or denied but it is interesting to see the opinion coming from Gates. There is no doubt that there has been some serious progress made by the musician in the gym.

This is not the first time we have seen transformations like this from celebrities. It is most common in Hollywood stars because they have to transform their bodies to the role that they are playing. In music, Lil Uzi Vert comes to mind as the most recent transformation made in the gym.

 

Kevin Gates is following a long line of rappers who have displayed impressive physiques. In the past, 50 Cent has graced the cover of Muscle & Fitness magazine while Nelly and LL Cool J remained in shape during the highlight of their careers.

Gates seems to be next and this has been shown in recent months. He has posted some impressive workouts for his fans to try.
