Kodak Black has apologised for saying he planned to romantically pursue actress Lauren London following the death of her boyfriend Nipsey Hussle.
“I’ll be the best man I can be for her,” Kodak said of Lauren London, adding that he’d give her “a whole year” to grieve for Nipsey.
He’s faced backlash from the likes of T.I and The Game – and had his music banned from a prominent LA radio station – following the comments.
His apology has also been criticised.
“If I disrespected you Lauren London in any shape or form, I am sorry,” the 21-year-old rapper said on Instagram Live, before adding: “Even though I didn’t.”
“Rest in peace to dude [Nipsey Hussle]. If I disrespected Lauren London in any way, even though I know I didn’t, my bad,” he reiterated later in the video.
Both T.I and The Game recorded videos calling Kodak Black out following his initial comments.
And Power 106, one of the biggest radio stations in Los Angeles, said it would no longer be playing his tracks.
We stand with the family of Nipsey Hussle and are appalled by the disrespectful and poor comments made by Kodak Black. With that, Power 106 will not support Kodak Black’s music. #LongLiveNip ???
