Kodak Black Urges Fans To Wear Mask Following Death Of His Friend’s Mother

Kodak Black told his fans to mask up or else.

The Pompano Beach rapper shared his personal experience with Coronavirus, telling his fans on Twitter that his close friend just lost his mother to the deadly virus. As a result, Kodak Black is urging his fans to take the pandemic seriously and wear a mask.

“Y’all Put Dem Masks Back On,” He advised highlighting a mask emoji. “My Homie Jus Loss His Momma From Dat Sh*t,” he concluded with a facepalm.

For the most part, his fans seem to be taking his message positively, especially since there is a growing divide among the US population regarding the wearing of masks and their effectiveness.

“Thx Kodak for looking out,” one fan applauded.

“Sorry to hear that. My condolences to his family!! And yes this sh*t is so real and these folks think it’s a dam* joke,” another supporter added.

The “Feelin Peachy” rapper was one of the celebrities who had publicly advertised the wearing of masks in light of this pandemic. The artiste was the first to receive a diamond-encrusted Sniper Gang mask from famous jeweler Johnny Dang. The mask was rumored to be worth US$30,000. Johnny Dang & Company, based in Houston, TX, is known for making diamond-covered chains, bracelets, watches, pendants, grillz, and other accessories that rappers flock to in droves.
