While he may not be looking for publicity for it, rapper Kodak Black has paid rent for more than 200 residents at Florida’s Golden Acres housing project. This is the second month in a row he has done so. The news was revealed by a man who seems to either be a resident of or a staff member at Golden Acres.
“He may not want the limelight, but for the 2nd month straight @KodakBlack has paid the rent for over 200 residents in Golden Acres, the entire projects!” the post reads. “A lot of people shine light on the negativity. I’ma see how many people share the positive things you do fam. You’re a blessing to a lot of people. Thank you!!”
This isn’t the first time Kodak Black has felt exceptionally charitable. In 2022, he covered the outstanding rent of 28 families in his native Pompano Beach who were about to be evicted, and paid their rent for several months. The year before that, he donated 100 air conditioners to several Pompano Beach residents.
“Some of you may know him as a celebrity, but this is an act of charity,” said board member Arlene R. Schwartz, who presented Black with a certificate of recognition for his act of service.
Further, the rapper has donated money to the children of two FBI agents who were killed on the job. “You know, at the end of the day, we’re all we got,” he said. “This ain’t nothing to do with politics, or white, Black, rich or poor. It’s up to us to help each other in the best way we can.”
Kodak Black said in 2023 that he wants to be known as a philanthropist rather than a gangster. “I only worry about being a good son and making sure my mom is proud of me. Making sure my family proud of me.”
While the rapper is all too happy to be seen as a philanthropist, his donations becoming public knowledge could attract some of the wrong attention. Drake, who is known for making generous donations to fans, was besieged during his recent shows in Australia by fans asking for financial aid.
