This news comes the same day Kodak Black’s lawyer revealed that the rapper had offered to pay for the funeral expenses of Kendrick Castillo, a Colorado high schooler who died defending his classmates from gunfire on Tues., May 7. According to Kodak’s attorney, Bradford Cohen, Kodak also offered to set up a $10,000 a year scholarship program in honor of the student, reports XXLMag.
In the message to Castillo’s parents, Cohen wrote, “First let me tell you words cannot describe my sorrow for your situation. You raised an amazing young man that did an amazing thing. I know that those words cannot provide as much comfort as you and your wife deserve. I have a client that wished me to reach out and extend an offer for him to pay for any and all funeral expenses, as well as establish a scholarship in his name. Your son truly represents the inherent good in people. Again, I am sorry for your loss.”
In April, Black caught heat on the internet follow comments he made directed at, Lauren London, Nipsey Hussle‘s longtime girlfriend on Instagram.
Following Hussle’s recent brutal murder, Black took to London’s IG commenting that he’s already contemplating when and how to “holler at her,” according to TMZ.
The Florida rapper posted a video to his IG Live, which began getting circulated Saturday — and it shows KB hanging out with some buddies of his and openly talking about Lauren like a piece of meat that he wants for himself in the wake of Nipsey’s death.
In the clip, Black calls Lauren “that baby” and a “whole widow out here,” while also musing that he’ll be the best man he can be to nab her next. He says he’s even willing to give her a whole year of “crying and s***” before he makes any potential moves on her.
One of his friends asks if Kodak’s shooting his shot, but he says he isn’t … he insists he’s just being friendly, and wouldn’t mind being a shoulder for her to lean on. Kodak also says she “can call my line.”
