Teletubby 116,781 Posted May 14, 2022 Share Posted May 14, 2022 Kendrick is facing backlash for featuring Kodak Black on his new album. In November of 2016, Kodak Blackwas accused of allegedly r*ping a teenage girl inside his hotel room in South Carolina. In April of 2021, Kodak accepted a plea deal and pled guilty to first-degree assault and was sentenced to 18 months of probation. During his hearing, the South Florida rapper addressed the victim, who watched the proceeding on a virtual live feed. “I apologize this happened, and I’m hopeful we can all move forward,” he said, "I wish her the best in her life." Since the release of Kendrick Lamar's new album, many people have slammed Kendrick for including Kodak on the project and trying to redeem a “problematic/toxic individual" through the topics on his album. source  source   I had a hole in the pocket of my favourite coat And my love for @Juanlittlem dropped into the lining Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

CommonWhiteGirl 1,039 Posted May 14, 2022 Share Posted May 14, 2022 This is a prime example of why we should stop mindlessly idolizing celebrities. At the end of the day they're just as sh*tty as everyone else and they have their own ideas and opinions that are toxic and problematic. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
HardlyaSaint 727 Posted May 14, 2022 Share Posted May 14, 2022 I genuinely cringe whenever my friends play him whenever I get in the car. His music isn’t even good (at least with R Kelly you can sort of see why people have a hard time discarding his entire discography, talent-wise, but it’s like people should at least have an easier time with Kodak? But they still listen to him, ), most of the time I can barely understand what he’s saying. It’s music that only sounds good if you’re rlly messed up on drugs just like the artist who releases it. Kodak Black is genuinely one of the most interesting and disturbing creatures to reach fame.  I never got the hype. Plus he looks like a voodoo doll. (By choice)  I mean even these crimes/allegations aside, why would anyone want to idolize or listen to someone who grabs their mom’s butt to be “funny”?   I actually kinda see why Trump got him out of prison. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
ItWasntLaauv 6,392 Posted May 14, 2022 Share Posted May 14, 2022 Yikes dude. Of all the people to have on an album, you choose someone who was convicted by court of law of r*ping a teenager? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kelly and [redacted for stupidity] tracks My overall streams amounted to a few cents max but now it's nothing OT: I take issue with that last tweet saying "rappers are just not good people" 'cause you can't put an entire genre of artists into one box just 'cause Kendrick Lamar, Kodak Black, Diddy, Travis Scott, etc did/do stupid sh*t  I feel like it's a short step from there to saying something racist since rap is predominantly run by black artists, but maybe I'm reaching, idk. It's kinda weird too how I regarded Kendrick as one of the few artists who spoke about real things like the golden age of rap but he's willing to put his own reputation on the line for a rapist MAGAt. Definitely lost my respect 🖤 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
