Kodak Black Says He’s ‘Never Sober’ On Livestream

The Florida rapper dismissed concerns about his sobriety stating, 'I’m too young to die sober.'

The “Harlem Nights” artist, born Dieuson Octave, was on Instagram Live while attending a football game last week when he read a comment that said ‘I love when Kodak’s sober.’

After reading the comment aloud, Kodak replied, “B***h, I ain’t sober. I look sober? I’m never sober, b***h.”

He continued, “For what? For what? Look at this money. Look at all this cash. Sober for what? I’m too young to die sober.”

The rapper then hands the phone to a friend before hopping over a fence and landing in a parking lot.

After his cameo on Cenat’s Mafiathon 2 subathon earlier this month, Kodak dismissed concerns on another Instagram livestream, reading a comment that said the rapper had to “understand” that he’s an influence on child fans.

“TikTok got the most…negative shit ever,” he said.

Kodak continued, saying he’s doing “nothing worse” than the content on the video app or on social media altogether.

This comes months after Kodak claimed he was “sober for the most part” and that he’d no longer perform his 2022 Back for Everything track “Super Gremlin,” where he raps about Percocet. 

“I’m about to stop performing ‘Super Gremlin,’ period. I hate that lil’ s**t,” Kodak said in July. “I’m sober—for the most part…Like Batman, I couldn’t have waited ’til, like, Saturday [to take drugs]. Now, I can wait a few days.”

He continued, “It was like a n***a was scared to be sober or something… Now, I can do that. I can go two days without nothing, homie…That’s motivation for n**gas to feel like if the Gremlin can do it, y’all can do it.”
