Kodak Black has called out Donald Trump for accusing Haitian immigrants of “eating pets,” saying he “ain’t taking no Haitian slander” from the former US president.
Trump is currently the Republican presidential candidate in the forthcoming election. In a recent debate with the Democratic option Kamala Harris, he repeated rumours that “illegal” Haitian immigrants in Springfield are “eating the dogs” and “eating the cats”. “They’re eating the pets of the people that live there,” he added.
His running partner and potential vice president JD Vance echoed the same sentiment in a tweet, writing: “Reports now show that people have had their pets abducted and eaten by people who shouldn’t be in this country.”
While on social media, Black seemed to address the Republican representatives. “If I wanted to eat a cat, that’s what I’m a eat,” the Florida rapper said, adding, “I was Haitian before it was cool to be Haitian.”
He emphasised: “I ain’t prejudiced, I ain’t biased, and I ain’t racist. I love Israel, I love all countries. I love everybody – hear me out – because I’m a warrior of Christ and whatever a motherfucker’s appetite is, that’s their appetite, homie.”
“Y’all ain’t never saw a motherfucker eat a cat before,” Black said with an incredulous look. “When y’all saw a n**** eat a cat? Even if you saw someone eat a motherfucking cat – so the fuck what?”
In the end, he encouraged Haitians to “vote for nothing” or no one that doesn’t respect them, adding that they “came too far” and “already surpassed all that shit”.
“We ain’t taking no Haitian slander,” he concluded. “That was like calling every White person with blue eyes the Devil. N****s ain’t gonna say that shit because that’s prejudice and that’s bias.”
Despite Black calling out Trump, he still endorsed the 45th president by attending a rally in Uniondale, New York last week (September 18). He also allowed the controversial businessman to feature on his and Fivio Foreign‘s recent collaboration, ‘ONBOA47RD‘.

Black first showed his support for Trump’s re-election back in 2020. He also asked the then-president to pardon his four-year prison sentence for giving false information on federal firearm forms.
The Apprentice USA star granted him clemency in 2021 – Black had served two years at that point – and the ‘No Flockin’ rapper has supported Trump’s campaigns ever since.
The upcoming presidential election will take place in November and will see Trump or Harris – who replaced Joe Biden in July – emerge as the 47th President of the USA.
In addition to Foreign and Black, Latin pop juggernauts Nicky Jam, Anuel AA and Justin Quiles, popular hip-hop figure Amber Rose, Billy Ray Cyrus, M.I.A, Azealia Banks, Lil Pump, and more have publicly endorsed Trump.
However, many musicians have voiced their disdain for him. Paramore‘s Hayley Williams is the latest to do so, condemning Trump during the band’s set at the iHeartRadio Music Festival.
“Project 2025 is Donald Trump’s playbook for controlling and punishing women, poor people, people of colour, and the LGBTQ community,” she said.
“It is time for all Americans to band together and to finally defeat the Trump agenda. And the only way to do that is by confronting him at the polls. Do you want to live in a dictatorship? Well, show up and vote.”
