"I ain’t see no Haitian eat no cat" — Kodak Black casts doubt on Trump's claims about immigrants eating pets despite supporting ex-POTUS

Rapper Kodak Black has spoken out publicly about Donald Trump's claims of Haitian immigrants eating pets in Ohio, during a recent concert in Columbus. The former President made these unsubstantiated claims during the Presidential debate against Kamala Harris on September 12, 2024.

At the concert, Kodak Black played the clip of Trump saying the statement:

“Of course I’m angry. We got 21 million people that came into our country invading our communities, invading our cities and our towns, and destroying our country. 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?” said Donald Trump.

Replying to the statement, where Trump further claimed that the immigrants were eating the pets of Springfield residents, the rapper with Haitian roots said:

"That sh*t true? Man, I ain’t gonna lie, homie, I’m a muthaf**king Trump supporter."

Amid the resounding boos from the crowd for supporting Trump, Kodak Black continued:

“I’m finna go to Springfield tomorrow, I’m going over there. I gotta see this sh*t. 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 sh*t.”

However, Kodak Black made it clear that he wasn't switching allegiances. While casting doubt on Trump's statements, he commented:

"I feel like we f**ked anyway. I ain’t with that Kamala Harris sh*t either. What the f**k going on in America?"

Trump's bizarre claim, that Haitian immigrants were eating cats and dogs, stretches back to a social media post, where an Ohio resident claimed that the daughter of her neighbor's friend lost a cat and later found it hanging from a branch.

However, the news was soon twisted and made into a story maligning Haitian immigrants. Speaking to NBC News (reported on September 13, 2024), the Ohio resident explained that she never imagined the news would be twisted this way. She has since deleted the post on Facebook.

“It [the news] just exploded into something I didn’t mean to happen. I feel for the Haitian community. If I was in the Haitians’ position, I’d be terrified, too, worried that somebody’s going to come after me because they think I’m hurting something that they love and that, again, that’s not what I was trying to do," the Ohio resident stated.

Rappers Lil Wayne and Kodak Black were two of more than 140 offenders pardoned by Donald Trump on the last day of his office as the US President in 2021. Kodak Black was sentenced to four years of imprisonment in 2019, for making a false statement to buy a firearm.

The White House pardoned his offense, describing him as a "prominent artist and a community leader," as reported via BBC.

"He has committed to supporting a variety of charitable efforts, such as providing educational resources to students and families of fallen law enforcement officers and the underprivileged," explained the White House officials in January 2021.

They also noted that Kodak Black had donated $50,000 to small businesses in his hometown (Florida) after the COVID-19 pandemic hit them. Additionally, he provided funding to daycare centers, food to the hungry, and notebooks and other supplies to school children. The rapper also donated to underprivileged children during Christmas.
