Kevin Gates opened up about kicking a woman at one of his concerts three years ago.

"It kind of hurt me when people paint this bad negative picture of me ," he told Sway. "Like, 'Well he's just this woman beater.' How? The girl, and I forgive her for this, 'cause I know deep down in her heart it gotta be some goodness in there. But you know what you did. You grabbed me  ... I stopped and next thing you know again you grab me. When I threw the kick, it never connected with you. I played soccer my whole life, I'd have kicked your head of your shoulders."

Gates got 180 days in a Florida prison for kicking Miranda Dixon. When he was released, he was flown to Illinois where he ended up serving nine months for being a felon with a firearm. 

Gates' interview comes shortly after the rapper said Lil Wayne and Mack Maine threatened to blackball him if he didn't sign with Young Money. Kevin also dropped his Luca Brasi 3 tape last month, as well as the single "Adding Up."

What do you think about what he said in reference to kicking that girl?
