Kodak Black initially intended to release a joint project with Drake, but has since declined due to Drake’s close association with 21 Savage.
The Florida rapper shared during an Instagram Live session on Tuesday (February 21) that the release of Drake and 21 Savage’s collaborative album “Her Loss” in November of last year caused him to reassess their potential collaboration.
“I had told Drake I ain’t wanna do no collab actually,” he said. “No songs or no album, ’cause we supposed to been did a whole album together before him and lil buddy did that shit.”
In the previous year, Kodak Black and 21 Savage had a clash following 21 Savage’s declaration that he could emerge victorious over any of his 2016 XXL Freshmen peers in a Verzuz battle, including Kodak.
“I’m smoking Kodak,” he said. “Nah, Kodak got some shit, though. It just depends on how a n**** play it, how it goes. N**** be acting like I don’t got that shit, that’s what be the problem. People be forgetting. I don’t know what n**** be thinking.”
Yak responded on Instagram Live, stating: 21 don’t want the smokes, man. That n**** ain’t say nothing yet. I done DM’d that n****. Man, wassup? Run it. I done hit Verzuz. Don’t be capping on this internet, homie. You ain’t ready to stand up in that fire, boy.”
