News Americas, New York, NY, Tuesday. September 24, 2024Haitian-American rapper Kodak Black, known for his ties to former President Donald Trump, has publicly called out the Republican candidate for his recent comments regarding Haitian immigrants. Trump, during a debate with Democratic candidate Kamala Harris, accused Haitian immigrants of “eating pets,” a claim that sparked outrage within the Haitian community.
Trump, who is currently campaigning for re-election, claimed that Haitian immigrants in Springfield were “eating dogs” and “eating cats” of local residents. His running mate, JD Vance, echoed similar sentiments, tweeting about reports of pets being “kidnapped and eaten” by undocumented immigrants.
Kodak Black’s answer
Kodak Black, who has roots in Haiti, quickly took to social media to defend Haitian immigrants and address Trump’s comments. “I don’t accept any slander from Haiti,” the rapper said, expressing disappointment over the allegations.
“If I wanted to eat a cat, this is what I eat,” he said, adding, “I was Haitian before it was cool to be Haitian.”
Black emphasized his love for all cultures and emphasized that he is not prejudiced. “I love Israel, I love all countries. I love everyone – because I am a warrior for Christ.”
He also questioned the claims, asking incredulously: “When have you ever seen a **** eat a cat? Even if you saw someone eating a mother cat – so what?”
In defense of Haitians
Kodak Black urged Haitians not to support any political figure who does not respect them, highlighting the progress the Haitian community has made. “We don’t get any slander from Haiti,” he said, comparing Trump’s comments to calling all blue-eyed white people “the Devil” — a statement he described as prejudice.
Kodak Black’s complex relationship with Trump
Despite his criticism, Kodak Black still made headlines by attending a Trump rally in Uniondale, New York on September 18, 2024. He also featured Trump on his and Fivio Foreign’s latest single, ‘ONBOA47RD’.
Born Dieuson Octave to Haitian immigrant Marcelene Octave, Kodak Black legally changed his name to Bill Kahan Kapri. Raised in Pompano Beach, Florida, in the Golden Acres housing project, the rapper has become a prominent figure with ties to his Haitian heritage and a developing relationship with Trump.
