Kodak Black just dropped a bombshell that’s blowing up across social media. In a viral livestream on December 16, 2025, the Florida rapper declared he’s “not mad about slavery” and blamed Africans for selling their own people into the trade. The clip exploded, racking up millions of views and sparking furious debates with hashtags like #KodakBlackSlavery and #NotMadAboutSlavery. If you’re searching for Kodak Black’s slavery comments, Kodak Black not mad about slavery backlash, or Kodak Black Africans sold slaves rant, you’ve landed in the right place. As the voice behind Black Men Matter—a movement empowering Black men’s power, legacy, and unity—this controversy hits close to home. It’s exposing deep divides in our community, but it also opens the door for real healing and strength in 2026. Let’s break it all down: what Kodak actually said, the explosive backlash, historical truth, and how Black Men Matter turns this pain into power. Plus, discover our Crowned Kings 2026 collection—the armor every king needs to roar through division.

During the now-infamous Instagram Live, Kodak went on a raw, unfiltered rant. He started by calling out perceived superiority from some Africans, saying he loves them but hates when they “act like y’all better than muthaf***as.”Then came the shocker: “Y’all Africans should have never sold n****s, bruh… I’m not mad at slavery ’cause white people was slaving people, too.”The video shows Kodak appearing impaired, sipping from bottles and slurring at times, which fueled concerns about his health alongside the outrage. It’s classic Kodak—street-level “real talk” from a man who’s battled incarceration and redemption—but this crossed a line for many.

The internet erupted immediately. Critics called it ignorant, divisive, and traumatic:
One trending sentiment: This echoes divide-and-conquer tactics, letting oppressors off the hook while we fight each other. Historical fact check: Yes, some African kingdoms sold rivals (often war captives), but the transatlantic scale exploded because of European demand, guns, and manipulation. Historians emphasize that the primary drivers were colonial greed, not just internal betrayal. For Black men facing higher incarceration, economic barriers, and trauma today, comments like this sting deep. They reinforce disunity when we need solidarity most.

At Black Men Matter, we don’t ignore pain—we transform it. Kodak’s words highlight a toxic divide we’ve been fighting: FBA vs. continental Africans, when systemic oppression is the real enemy. Slavery’s legacy—trauma, poverty, broken systems—hits Black men hardest. Dismissing it keeps those chains tight. Instead, let’s educate, heal, and unite:
This is our 2026 vision: Rise united, thrive economically, and build unbreakable legacies.
