Kodak Black is worried rap fans will turn on him eventually.

During a recent Instagram Live session, the Florida rapper revealed that he feels a “Hate Kodak campaign” is in his future. “One day these n—s gon’ try to do me like Drake,” he said referring to the blowback the Toronto rapper has suffered since losing his battle with Kendrick Lamar. “Whole little hate Kodak campaign. Everybody who hate Kodak to the left. You see these n—s campaigning and sh—t.”


While Kodak was somewhat incoherent soon after, we were able to make out him saying, “I’m a great friend, but I ain’t friendly.” We’re not exactly sure what he was referring to, but Kodak has a history with both Lamar and Drake. Kodak was featured on the Compton MC’s 2022’s Mr. Morale & the Big Steppers as a narrator of sorts, something Kendrick was criticized for given Kodak’s long legal history, which includes a first-degree assault charge after an incident with a teenage girl in a hotel room in 2016.

Drake, on the other hand, has referred to Kodak as his favorite rapper, at least according to Kodak himself. This past December, during another IG Live, he said, “I’m Drake’s favorite rapper. He always says that. Even his people always say that,” as he paced around a living room. “It don’t make no sense how Kendrick Lamar beat you to it, you know what I mean,” he then said in reference to his appearance on Mr. Morale. Kodak then mentioned the $600,000 in Bitcoin Drake allegedly sent him. “I get why he sent all that money now. That’s why he sent that out of nowhere like that.”

The “No Flockin'” rapper was also upset with Drake over 2022’s Her Loss because he decided to do the project with 21 Savage instead of him. “I had told Drake I ain’t wanna do no collab actually,” he revealed during yet another Instagram Live. “No songs or no album, ’cause we supposed to been did a whole album together before him and lil buddy did that sh—t.” Adding, “I had told him I wanted to wait, like 2023, after February.”
