Kevin Gates is known for his outrageous and controversial opinions. But don't expect him to play that game when it comes to other rappers.

During an interview with Elle's Thirst Trap, he was asked this question about eliminating famous rappers from the game. [Jump to 7:45]

"If you had to rid the world of one of these rappers, who would it be: Drake, Lil Wayne, Kanye, T.I., JAY-Z, Eminem or Bun B."

Gates considered the question for a moment. However, he wouldn't take the bait.

"Everything on here influenced everyone indirectly.  So if you erase one, you'd gotta erase every one of them on the page," Gates said, and then explained how each rapper is interrelated using his "big nerd" brain. 

The interview didn't really like the answer, so Gates checked him.

"I answered your question. I just didn't answer it the way you wouldn't me to answer it but I answered it. I just believe in positivity. If I'm going to erase somebody, [even] just joking, you still putting out a n*gga," Gates said.
