Kodak Black Responds to Donald Trump’s Racist Comments About Haitians

In a recent concert, rapper Kodak Black, a known supporter of Donald Trump, addressed the controversial former president’s remarks about Haitian immigrants. Trump’s comments, widely criticized as racist, were played during Kodak’s performance in Columbus, Ohio, where the politician can be heard blaming Haitian migrants for issues in various U.S. cities.

“We got 21 million people that came into our country, invading our communities, invading our cities and towns, and destroying our country,” Trump said in the clip. “I’m angry about Venezuelan gangs taking over Aurora, Colorado, and I’m angry about illegal Haitian migrants taking over Springfield, Ohio. You see that mess, don’t you?”

Reacting to the video, Kodak Black, whose real name is Bill Kahan Kapri, took the stage and questioned whether the clip was authentic. Before the crowd could respond, he made it clear where his loyalty stood.

“That sht crazy. That sht true? Man, I ain’t gonna lie, homie, I’m a muthafking Trump supporter,” Kodak said, despite boos from the audience. “I’m Haitian. How y’all feel about this election sht? I feel like we fked anyway. I ain’t with that Kamala Harris sht either. What the f**k going on in America?”

Kodak then addressed the allegations that Haitian immigrants were responsible for crimes in Springfield, Ohio, including claims that they were killing and eating pets. “I’m finna go to Springfield tomorrow, I’m going over there. I gotta see this sht. I ain’t smelling that. I ain’t see no Haitian eat no cat, homie. When y’all show me a Haitian eating a cat, then y’all can say that sht.”

The baseless accusations that Haitians were harming pets began when Springfield resident Erika Lee made unfounded claims on Facebook. She alleged that Haitian immigrants were responsible for the disappearance of her neighbor’s cat.

However, local law enforcement found no evidence to support these claims, according to a report by NBC News. Despite Lee’s later apology, in which she admitted she had no proof and insisted she wasn’t racist, the damage was done.

The misinformation spread rapidly, leading to increased security at several Springfield institutions that temporarily closed amid the controversy. The claims even reached national politics, with Trump referencing the rumors during a debate with Vice President Kamala Harris in September, using the false narrative to further his stance on immigration.

Kodak Black’s public backing of Trump, despite the latter’s inflammatory remarks about Haitian immigrants, has added another layer of complexity to the ongoing discussion of race, politics, and misinformation in America.
