Kevin Gates celebrates Father's Day on his farm with his camels.

Kevin Gates is far from your average man. Though he's still a prominent voice in the world of gangsta rap, he's evolved a lot personally and artistically over the course of his career. He's a rapper by trade, though he doesn't necessarily live how your typical rapper lives, or at least portrays to be living.

This weekend will mark another Father's Day. Though some fathers will be receiving socks or macaroni artwork, Kevin Gates' family went all out for him. The rapper hit Instagram where he revealed that he was gifted two camels.

"This my early Father's Day gift. Dreka got me -- she got me two camels," he said with the biggest grin on his face. "Two all-white camels. This is a blessing to us from Allah. Alhamdulilah."

Dreka clarified that both camels are females while Kevin Gates allowed the camel to lick his face. Mind you, this is the same Kevin Gates that once admitted that he allows his dogs to lick inside of his mouth because they have a "bacteria in their mouth that kills germs." Either way, it's a few days before Father's Day and Kevin Gates is obviously appreciating the early gift.

Before he was gifted his two camels, he took to the 'Gram where he revealed his latest stylistic change -- braids. You can check that out here.
