Kodak Black foresees a storm brewing against him in the hip-hop scene, reminiscent of the backlash Drake faced.
- The rapper, feeling under attack, compares his situation to Drake’s past beef with Kendrick Lamar.
- Kodak’s Instagram Live comments reveal a mixture of defiance and friendship towards the hip-hop community.
- Despite tensions, he recounted moments of generosity and mutual respect with Drake, including a substantial Bitcoin gift.
- The anticipated collab album with Drake is now on shaky ground after his project with 21 Savage.
Kodak Black is no stranger to controversy, and now he feels a “hate train” is gathering momentum against him. On Instagram Live, he candidly shared predictions of how the hip-hop world might soon turn on him, much like it did with Drake during his conflict with Kendrick Lamar.
Kodak vented frustrations about critics by saying, “One day these n-ggas gon’ try to do me like Drake.” It appears he foresees a campaign of negativity targeted at his career. Despite this, he acknowledges the complexity of relationships, noting, “It’s love. They show like, I’m impressive. I’m a great friend to have and I ain’t friendly.”
In December, the Florida rapper called out Drake for not working with him more. In a casual video, he expressed surprise at how Kendrick Lamar managed to collaborate with the 6 God before he did, admitting, “I’m Drake’s favorite rapper. He always says that.”
Their relationship has seen high points, including Drake sending Kodak $600,000 in Bitcoin. Kodak warmly reminisced about this gesture, calling Drake “my dog” and emphasizing the high regard in which the Toronto rapper held him.
However, plans for a collaborative album cooled after Drake’s joint album with 21 Savage dropped. Kodak explained on Instagram Live, “I had told Drake I ain’t wanna do no collab actually,” suggesting he felt sidelined by the timing of the release.
Previously, Kodak had been enthusiastic about the idea of an album with Drake, even hinting at the quantity of music they’d already made together. Nevertheless, the project remains unreleased as doubts seem to linger.
Kodak Black’s foresight of possibly facing a hip-hop backlash mirrors his complex and evolving relationship with Drake.
