It didn’t long for the backlash to hit on social media.
Even rapper T.I. weighed in with an NSFW message to Kodak Black, telling him to “get your motherf**kin’ self together.”
T.I. isn’t the only celeb taking Kodak Black to task, with two-time former welterweight world boxing champion Andre Berto advising the rapper that he’d be wise to stay out of Los Angeles.
,In addition, L.A. radio station Power 106 declared the station would no longer be playing Kodak Black’s music in light of the comments.
On Sunday, reports TMZ, the rapper responded to the backlash by releasing a video in which he offers a half-hearted sort-of apology.
Promising “this is gonna be my last time talking about this,” he adds, “if I disrespected Lauren London in any shape or form, I’m sorry — even though I didn’t.”
