Kodak Black releases album day after walking out of interview

Kodak Black released his new album, “Dying to Live” late Thursday night, a day-and-a-half after he walked out of an interview with “Ebro in the Morning.”

Announced at the end of November, “Dying to Live” is the Florida rapper’s second studio album. Headlined by the hit Travis Scott and Offset collaboration, “ZEZE,” it also features a song, “Malcolm X.X.X,” on which Kodak compares the late rapper XXXTentacion to Malcolm X.

On the song, the 21-year-old raps, “X was tryna buy a bike and he got gunned down / X was tryna change his life, but he got burned down / X wasn’t ridin’ with no pipe so he got gunned down / Listen, do as I say, don’t do as I do / Nine out of ten, it ain’t gon’ end up lookin’ good for you.”

At the time of his June murder, XXXTentacion was awaiting trial for domestic violence against a pregnant ex-girlfriend, along with witness harassment and tampering charges.

As previously reported, Kodak, whose real name is Dieuson Octave, ended his interview with Hot97 host Ebro Darden after just 15 minutes on Wednesday morning after he was asked about his pending sexual assault case.

Before walking out of the studio, Kodak told Ebro, “I feel like sometimes, when n—-s like me are going through s–t, y’all be entertained by bulls–t, you know what I’m talking about? So like change the subject or I’m finna walk out.”

The rapper is accused of raping a woman in a South Carolina hotel room in 2016. He was indicted on criminal sexual conduct charges in October 2017. The trail is scheduled to start in April.

Kodak had a much more successful appearance on Power 105.1’s “The Breakfast Club” Friday morning. The rapper showed up wearing an olive ski mask, a callback to his bizarre and contentious appearance on the morning show last year, in which, among other things, he called himself “Tupac Resurrected.”

While there were no direct questions about the pending sexual assault case, co-host Charlamagne tha God asked the rapper how he was able to stay in “good spirits with all the charges and stuff you facing?”

“I don’t see that, feel me?” Kodak said. “Ain’t nothin’ worse than death. I don’t see that. I just walk around, I got big wings.”

When asked if he was worried about going back to jail, he said, “I don’t think that’s in my future no more. I think I did enough for that. I could have just stayed in jail. Why even let me come home?”
