Kodak Black, an avid Donald Trump supporter, has responded to the politician’s racist remarks regarding Haitian people. Yak took the stage during a recent concert after playing a clip of former President Trump’s remarks regarding Haitian immigrants at the Columbus, Ohio, venue.
“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,” Trump could be heard saying. “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?”
Kodak then addressed Trump’s comments as he spoke to the audience. He questioned whether or not the clip was real, and before the audience could answer, he declared his support for the controversial politician.
“That sh*t crazy. That sh*t true? Man, I ain’t gonna lie, homie, I’m a muthaf**king Trump supporter,” Yak said, to a litany of boos being thrown his way. “I’m Haitian. How y’all feel about this election sh*t? 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?”
“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.”
The racist rhetoric first hit the web after Erika Lee, a resident of Springfield, spread the misinformation on Facebook. Lee was reacting to her neighbor’s cat, who had been missing from their home, where she claimed that Haitian immigrants attacked the feline.
NBC News reported that local law enforcement never found any evidence that Haitian people were directly related to “pets disappearing.” Lee has since apologized, insisting that she “is not a racist” and that she “doesn’t have any proof” of her claims. However, her apology didn’t stop the misinformation from taking on a life of its own, as the baseless claims caused a couple of Springfield institutions to be closed and then reopened with increased security, per CNN.
Lee’s insensitive claims then traveled 445.5 miles from Springfield, OH, to Washington, D.C., where Donald Trump referenced the misinformation to gaslight those who tuned in to the debate between himself and Vice President Kamala Harris in early September.
