Kevin Gates has been out of prison since January, after serving nine out of thirty months for being a felon with a firearm.

But he hasn't been heard from since. That's because the terms of his probation are so stringent that he is trying to get a restraining order on his probation officer on grounds that he's been depriving Gates of his livelihood.

Gates's wife Dreka just updated his legal situation on his IG page.

Hi guys, I am coming to you on behalf of Kevin and just apologizing to everyone because Kevin is unable to make it to the shows this weekend and next weekend. The Illinois Department of Corrections has prevented Kevin from leaving the state of Illinois. He isn’t even allowed to come home to California where we live and since he was released in January, he has not been able to come home not one time. So just know guys that we’re doing everything in our power that we can to just get through this and work this out so he can get back to doing what he loves to do and just know that we really, really appreciate each and every one of you all. You guys just have no idea how much we appreciate your love and support and just know that we’re going to make it up to you guys and he’s been in the studio going really, really hard right now. So you guys will hear from him like really soon. We love you," Dreka explained.
