As part of his promotional tour for Dying to Live, Kodak Black stopped by Hot 97's Ebro in the Morning show to discuss a wide range of topics. The conversation touched on the rapper's lyricism, his collaboration with XXXTentacion, and Cardi B's breakout single "Bodak Yellow," which was inspired by Kodak's 2014 record "No Flockin.'"
Though the Florida artist seemed a little reserved at certain moments, the interview got off to a relatively fine start; however, the mood quickly changed when Ebro Darden questioned Kodak about his ongoing sexual assault case.
"With respect to everybody involved in that case, you know we can't get into details today. But, you know, we take sexual assault here serious," the host said at around the 15-minute mark. "We can't get into details, but we hope to have you back so we can have a deeper conversation about that because it's a serious topic."
A visibly uncomfortable Kodak remained silent.
Co-host Peter Rosenberg then attempted to change the subject, but Kodak wasn't responsive.
"You seem upset that I brought it up," Ebro tells the rapper, referring to the sexual assault comments.
"I feel like sometimes when n***as be going through s**t, like, y'all be entertained by bulls**t," Kodak said. "Change the subject, or else I'm finna walk out."
"We don't have to talk about nothing else, we can be done right here," Ebro responded.
It was at that point Kodak stood up and walked out.
