Rapper Kodak Black dropped a 22-second clip that’s blowing up online, and it’s got everyone talking. In the raw video, the Florida native looks straight into the camera and says he wants ICE to arrest him and deport him to Haiti calling it his “motherland” even though he was born in Pompano Beach, Florida. No agents showed up. No arrest happened. It’s just Kodak being Kodak.
The clip, filmed in a casual street-style setting with his entourage visible in the background, shows the 28-year-old dressed in everyday streetwear. He speaks with his signature energetic Florida flow, repeating the idea emphatically.
“Even though I wasn’t born there… I wish ICE would arrest me and send me to Haiti… or whatever,”
He says, sounding part playful, part frustrated. He even mentions wanting “him and his people” sent back too. The whole thing feels unscripted, like a quick fan or paparazzi catch in a public spot.
A tweet from X.
Kodak was born as Dieuson Octave and is legally known as Bill Kahan Kapri. He gained fame in the mid-2010s due to his popular songs like “No Flockin’” and “Tunnel Vision.” Kodak was brought up by his mother, who was a Haitian immigrant. His mother is known as Marcelene Octave. He has always been vocal about his origins. His past is also marred by gun and drug charges. He was granted a full pardon in 2024 for serving time in prison. This has helped him to continue moving forward in his music career.
The video was originally uploaded to Florida-based accounts like @finessegang_e and FloridaUpNext on March 23-24, 2026. However, it gained popularity after being uploaded by the account No Jumper on X. The captions contain laughing and skull emojis.
Fans are split. Some are cracking up, calling it “peak Kodak chaos” and flooding replies with memes. Others show real concern, referencing past comments from Boosie Badazz labeling him a “crackhead” and urging him to get help or hit rehab. A solid group defends it as straight Haitian pride, saying it’s just how he expresses love for his culture. Threads mix laughter with empathy, with many noting he’s been “wildin’” lately amid missed shows and erratic moments.
Kodak’s comment lands at a time when Haitian immigration remains in the spotlight, including the recent end of temporary protected status for many Haitians. He’s not making policy he’s venting cultural ties in his own unfiltered way. His history of legal troubles and public scrutiny makes every wild moment feel heavier to fans worried about his well-being.
