Kodak Black Criticizes NBA YoungBoy’s Delayed MASA Album

Kodak Black and NBA YoungBoy have reignited their long-standing and complicated feud after Kodak publicly criticized YoungBoy's new album, Make America Slime Again (MASA), calling it "straight trash" and expressing dislike for the music despite usually enjoying YoungBoy's work. YoungBoy had initially planned to release the full 30-track album on July 4th but instead released six tracks as a preview, with the full album delayed until July 25th. Kodak speculated that the partial release was a move to provoke him, hinting at behind-the-scenes tensions, though he denied that YoungBoy dating his ex-girlfriend was the cause of the renewed beef. Their relationship has been marked by highs and lows, including past collaborations, diss tracks, and public disputes, but they appeared to have patched things up in 2023 with a truce symbolized by a friendly conversation about gumbo. Despite fans questioning the seriousness of the feud due to Kodak's erratic social media behavior, Kodak has promised to respond with new music. Meanwhile, YoungBoy recently received a pardon from President Donald Trump, which he acknowledged as a pivotal moment for his future as an artist and father.
