Kevin Gates' is back in full-action these days after a tumultuous few years. At the peak of his career, the rapper was sentenced to prison in 2016 and wasn't released until January of this year. Although he was released, his wife Dreka revealed that the Illinois Correctional Institute placed Kevin on strict travel restrictions which prevented him from leaving the state. Thankfully, he's back to work and back on the road for the "Luca Brasi 3" tour. During his homecoming show in Baton Rouge, the rapper brought his kids on stage for an adorable family moment.

Kevin Gates hit the stage in his hometown of Baton Rouge, LA last night for his homecoming show on the "Luca Brasi 3" tour. The rapper was performing his single, "Great Man" off his latest project when his son Khaza and daughter Islah, joined in on stage. 

"My children @realkhazagates and @islahgates flew in to #BatonRouge to cut up wit they Daddy," he wrote on Instagram along with the clip.

Clearly, his daughter Islah is more comfortable in front of crowds. She's seen turning up with her dad on stage as Khaza seems confused before he walks off stage. It's overall an adorable moment between Gates and his kids.

Gates is fresh off the release of his first post-prison mixtape, Luca Brasi 3 which arrived at the tail-end of September. The project debuted at number 4 on the Billboard 200, behind Lil Wayne, Logic and Cher.
