DJ Akademiks was among those who shared the video of Kodak Black on social media on December 6. Other news outlets, like Hollywood Unlocked, reported that an unidentified “friend” of the singer shared content online showing the musician reportedly appearing to be under the influence. In the video circulating online, Kodak was heard saying:
“Drake’s favorite rapper. I’m his favorite rapper. He always say that. Even his people always say that. They always say that. Even when he… you know what I mean? Even when he ain’t around bro. So it makes no sense how did Kendrick Lamar beat you [Drake] to it. You know what I mean?”
Netizens have since taken to social media to discuss Kodak Black’s behavior in the video. Many assumed that Yak was under the influence of substances. This has not been officially confirmed by any sources at the time of writing this article. One netizen commented:
Several others expressed similar sentiments, with many opining that the person who recorded Kodak Black in a compromising position and posted it online was not a “true” friend.
For those uninitiated, Kodak Black has revealed in the past that he consumes substances regularly. He has also shared that he tried to quit but has relapsed several times.

In a November Instagram livestream, an unidentified Instagram user questioned the rapper whether he was back to consuming drugs, to which Yak responded:
“B***h, I ain’t sober. I look sober? I’m never sober, b***h. For what? For what? Look at this money. Look at all this cash. Sober for what? I’m too young to die sober.”
The rapper confessed to relapsing after previously sharing in July in another Instagram livestream that he was on the track to changing his life. Speaking about why he stopped performing his song Super Gremlin, Yak explained:
“I’m about to stop performing Super Gremlin period. I hate that lil’ sh*t. I’m sober for the most part and I say this, like, around my people them so they know… that [it’s] serious. I could talk about it now. You feel me? For the most part bro I be sober, brother.”
At the time of this article, Yak had not addressed the video going viral.
