Kodak Black co-signs Trump's criticism of Rihanna.

Kodak Black appears to side with Donald Trump surrounding Rihanna’s performance at the Super Bowl. Days before Rihanna hit the stage, Trump and several other Republicans called out the NFL for allowing the Bajan singer to perform during the halftime show. Trump and several others accused Rihanna of disrespecting America because she criticized the former president. It largely centered around Rihanna tagging “F*ck Donald Trump” on a car and then sharing a photo of the graffiti on social media.  

Much of the backlash began with criticism from Rep. Ronny Jackson, who took issue with the previously mentioned post. “She’s made a career of spewing degenerate filth while badmouthing America every chance she gets,” Rep. Jackson wrote on Trump’s Truth Social. “Why is the NFL showcasing this crap? Rihanna SHOULD NOT be the halftime performer!!” Shortly after, Trump chimed in, writing, “Without her ‘Stylist’ she’d be NOTHING. Bad everything, and NO TALENT!” The comments quickly spread beyond Truth Social and onto every other social media platform that Trump was previously banned from.

Kodak Black Agrees With Donald Trump

Ever since Trump granted Kodak Black clemency, the rapper made it clear that he doesn’t think Trump can do no wrong. Just after Rihanna performed, the former president described the halftime show among the worst in NFL history. “EPIC FAIL: Rihanna gave, without question, the single worst Halftime Show in Super Bowl history — This after insulting far more than half of our Nation, which is already in serious DECLINE, with her foul and insulting language,” Trump wrote on Truth Social Sunday night. “Also, so much for her ‘Stylist!”

Kodak Black echoed these sentiments as he watched the Super Bowl from the State Farm Stadium in Arizona. “Uncle Trump said that shit is garbage, man,” Yak said as he turned the camera to Rihanna’s performance. Evidently, his undying love for Trump clouded his ability to think critically but that isn’t all that shocking. Still, everyone else loved Rihanna’s set on Sunday, where she dug into her catalog and performed some of her greatest hits. Rih hasn't responded to Trump or Kodak but we'll keep you posted if she ever does. Check out Kodak Black’s comments above.
