Don Q addresses the alleged DM Kodak Black posted on Instagram.

Don Q and Kodak Black have been in a bit of a back and forth over the past few days. Kodak Black initially stated that he wanted to fight both Don Q and A Boogie Wit Da Hoodie, although the cause of the friction is still unclear. After Don Q responded, Kodak Black shared an alleged DM conversation where Q said he was just joking. However, it seems as though the DM was fake and now, Don Q is letting Kodak Black know he's not with Internet beef.

Don Q took to Instagram to get at Kodak Black over the alleged DM that was exposed on Kodak's IG. The rapper claimed that the DM was fake and that he's not with beefing with people over social media.

"That was not a real n***a move posting that fake DM. I thought you was a street real n***a," he said. "You coulda hit me direct and see what I really said, n***a. We coulda handled this shit like men. All that Internet shit is gay. I ain't into none of that."

It seems as though Kodak Black later clarified to A Boogie that the initial video happened when he was drunk. Despite this, Don Q stated that Kodak should've nonetheless reached out to him in order to settle their differences.
