Y’all did all of this for me. Y’all shouldn’t have. My name is Kevin Gates. And this is Billboard News. I never thought I’d be on Billboard News. This is so cool.

Welcome to Billboard News. I’m Tetris and I’m hanging out with my man, what’s going on Kevin Gates?
Kevin Gates
I’m excited.
Tetris Kelly
I’m excited to have you here. The funny part is as soon as you walked in today, I was like, I’ve wanted to ask you about this. So I’m happy to hear the feather’s the vibe. I’ve seen it in your music videos and on stage. Tell me the inspiration behind this look.
Kevin Gates
It’s not a look, and I’m gonna be honest with you. I wish I would have never walked this path.
Tetris Kelly
Why do you say that? Because I feel like it’s a whole vibe.
Kevin Gates
The responsibility that come with it. Wearing the feathers, like it’s me vibrating at the highest frequency possible and my feathers are very strong, but at the same time, they’re very delicate, just like life. So I gotta be conscious at all times. At some time. I want to turn up you know?
Tetris Kelly
You got a reminder.
Kevin Gates
I gotta always remember to be present and be in the moment. Be conscious.
