Kodak Black posted a message to his Instagram account, saying that he hopes that the coronavirus lasts until his release from prison.
“Lol I ain’t missing out on nothing Right Na…U Rap N*ggaz can’t make no money Right Na,” he wrote. “…This Corona sh*t need to last til I Get Out.”
The post has since been deleted from his page, and XXL spoke to the rapper who confirmed that Kodak was only speaking to rappers — and not to the rest of the country.
“n my comments I was referring to my fellow rappers. Since I been locked up a few rappers that I was cool with moving funny. So I was just joking with the rappers. In NO way was I being insensitive about the Virus. On top of that I was in unaware that ppl were dying from it. Just giving u some insight from my perspective,” he told the publication.
