Kodak Black is not sitting quietly while rumors about his conversion to Islam swirl around. He’s made it clear that he feels these rumors are misleading and upsetting.
It all started when images of him on a prayer rug surfaced online, leading many to believe he had turned to Islam. However, Kodak quickly pointed out that these photos were taken at the behest of celebrity dentist Saif Shere and not as part of any religious conversion.
His allegiance remains with the Hebrew Israelite faith, a belief he passionately identifies with. In an emphatic social media post, Kodak remarked, “No disrespect to the Muslim community but Iam [sic] Hebrew Israelite.”
Explaining further, Kodak acknowledged his interest in Islamic literature but emphasized, “I always say I like the literature, but I ain’t no fucking Muslim.”
Kodak elaborated on his stance during a video monologue, respecting each individual’s right to their belief, whether Muslim, Christian, or following any other faith. “I can’t tell you you’re wrong for being Christian,” he stated. “I can’t tell you you’re wrong for being Muslim. You can’t tell me I’m wrong for being Hebrew Israelite.”
The rapper also called out fans and media who used particular images to create a certain narrative, asserting, “I never said I’m Muslim.” His aim was to set the record straight and stop the spread of misinformation.
While some might find these rumors surprising, Kodak seemed prepared for media twists. On Instagram Live, he drew parallels with past instances where hip-hop artists faced similar scrutiny from the media. “One day these n-ggas gon’ try to do me like Drake,” he predicted, referring to the backlash Drake faced during a publicized beef.
Despite the media storm, Kodak maintains a resilient attitude, confident in his identity and assured of his position within the hip-hop community, stating that he remains an impressive and steadfast friend.
Kodak Black stands firm in his beliefs, quelling rumors with clarity and confidence.
