Kodak Black is pushing back against rumors that he’s been using methamphetamine.

In newly-circulating footage of what appeared to be a recent livestream, the Florida rapper addressed a fan who asked if he was on the drug, a question that seemed to catch him off guard.

“What you mean, like if I must be off it or I must not be on it? What you trying to say, whoever the fuck this is?” Kodak responded. “I don’t be on fucking meth… I tried it though […] Everybody be on that. It’s nothing, every drug, you feel me? That’s why I had said that.”

Kodak went on to explain that people often criticize certain substances without realizing they may already be consuming harmful or unknown ingredients through more common habits like drinking alcohol or smoking weed.

“Y’all motherfuckers just take shit and not even know where the shit came from or what’s been in it, you feel me? That’s messed up for real,” he said. “Yeah, that’s messed up for real […] Why y’all drinking lean? ’Cause everyone is doing it.”

The Super Gremlin rapper reiterated his stance, clarifying that while he has experimented in the past, he doesn’t currently use meth.

“I don’t be on fucking meth… I tried it though… everybody be on meth… y’all really just want to have something against me,” he added.

Kodak’s comments arrive amid ongoing online speculation about his behavior and appearance, something he’s repeatedly said fans blow out of proportion.
