Yak's been under a lot of recent scrutiny.

Kodak Black engaged in a lot of antics and worrisome behaviors over the past few years, but the line between misinterpretation and legitimate oddity is now quite blurry. Moreover, his attorney recently claimed that he's off the drugs following a concerning video that surfaced of him eating chicken in the middle of the street. What's more is that Yak himself recently rallied against this criticism and speculation during an Instagram Live session this week, deciding to take aim at everyone who thinks he needs help or is going through something right now. At the end of the day, he just wants to be left in peace and enjoy his time in the spotlight whenever he directs it, not when others pile on him.

"If I'm crazy or r***rded or a junkie or whatever the f**k, why the f**k ain't y'all leave me alone?" Kodak Black asked. "Why nobody leave me alone? Why y'all got to keep posting me and talking about me? Leave me the f**k alone, right? Y'all crazy rappers be. But then it's like, when people see me in person by myself, they're my biggest fan. Oh, okay.

Kodak Black Response

"Any little thing that look like I probably be tweaking and y'all go crazy about it, I stopped looking at it like y'all hate me," Kodak Black continued. "I say, 'Oh, everybody love me. They care about me.' That's why. 'Cause when I look at other little rappers' s**t, damn, this n***a look like he high or whatever the f**k, he ain't prejudiced, so stop being prejudiced. 'Cause like, when I'm on my bulls**t, that ain't for y'all to know or see. Anyway, I don't give a f**k."

Apart from all this discussion, though, Kodak Black continues his focus on his career and on consistently feeding fans with more material. For Valentine's Day this year (Friday, February 14), he dropped two new singles on love called "Single Again" and "Cluck," which offer very different topical and sonic perspectives. Maybe this new work is what people should focus on rather than whatever the Florida MC has going on in his life.

Born and raised in San Juan, Puerto Rico, Gabriel treasures the crossover between his native reggaetón and hip-hop news coverage, such as his review for Bad Bunny’s hometown concert in 2024. But more specifically, he digs for the deeper side of hip-hop conversations, whether that’s the “death” of the genre in 2023, the lyrical and parasocial intricacies of the Kendrick Lamar and Drake battle, or the many moving parts of the Young Thug and YSL RICO case. Beyond engaging and breaking news coverage, Gabriel makes the most out of his concert obsessions, reviewing and recapping festivals like Rolling Loud Miami and Camp Flog Gnaw. He’s also developed a strong editorial voice through album reviews, think-pieces, and interviews with some of the genre’s brightest upstarts and most enduring obscured gems like Homeboy Sandman, Bktherula, Bas, and Devin Malik.
