Kodak Black Announces Plans To Build A School in Haiti

Kodak Black has always represented his home country of Haiti proudly, and now he’s putting some dollars behind his words.

The Florida raised-rapper just announced that he’s building a school in Haiti, which he revealed after letting fans know that he purchased a house for his grandmother.

“I got my Grandma a mansion in Haiti,” he wrote. “I feel like we still be going through slavery. Out of all the times I donate or give back in anyway I never upload or broadcast it. But I’m happy to say I’m building a school in Haiti as well. #Pray4Haiti, #TheLandofHell, #WeChosen, #Levite.”

The new school isn’t the first time Kodak’s generosity made headlines.

Last month he donated $10,000 to Jack & Jill Children’s Center in Broward County, Fla., a non-profit that focuses on childhood education. And last year he and Master P announced they were organizing a back to school fundraiser. That was until they had a falling out and Kodak accused Master P of trying to charge him for mentorship.

In regards to the school, there’s no word on when it will arrive but the rapper’s lawyer Bradford Cohen said it’s part of Kodak’s plan to make some positive moves after being released from prison in August.

Since that time, the 21-year-old has stayed out of legal trouble, but he did get into it with New York rappers A Boogie wit da Hoodie and Don Q after he threatened to beat them up.

But Cohen said Kodak is serious about giving back and plans to involve himself with charitable causes throughout the United States.

Independent journalism doesn't fund itself.

We hope this story was worth your time. For over 14 years, Atlanta Black Star has stayed Black-owned and independently run. We didn't get here by waiting on ad budgets that were never built to prioritize us. Our readers did that.

Corporate support for Black media has always been thin. Outlets like ours get roughly 1% of the $170 billion spent on U.S. advertising each year, and that margin is shrinking further as advertisers walk back the DEI-linked commitments they made in 2020. That's the backdrop. It's not why we're asking.

We know a request for support isn't why you came here. But without readers choosing to fund this work directly, the depth of reporting we can do at home and abroad shrinks along with everyone else's. If you're not in a position to give, that doesn't change how much we value you as a reader.

If you are able to, a recurring contribution does more for us than a single one-time gift, because it lets us plan the next investigation instead of just the next invoice. It takes about 30 seconds, no long form, no account. Thank you for continuing to support independent journalism and freedom of the press.
