Kodak Black is in the middle of a 46-month prison sentence following a federal weapons charge and, according to a recent string of tweets, struggling with his mental health.
On Sunday night (January 10), the incarcerated rapper admitted he was feeling low, tweeting, “Lonely. Sad. Depressed. Pray for Sanity.” He added, “Lord Restore My Heart. Take What’s Broken And Make Whole Again.”
Kodak presumably experienced a glimmer of hope last week when it was reported he and Lil Wayne were on Donald Trump’s list of potential pardons. But following the deadly insurrection at the U.S. Capitol building on January 6, Democrats are moving to impeach the outgoing president for a second time, meaning it’s unlikely that will happen.
The 23-year-old acknowledged the controversy and gave a little shout-out to Lil Yachty, who previously begged Trump to commute Kodak’s sentence.

“We Need To Have Peace,” he continued. “We Need To Have Law And Order.” He added, “I love @lilyachty. You Got All My Respect. You A Real One Fasho.”
Earlier this month, federal prosecutors denied Kodak’s request to have his prison sentence reduced after it was determined his motion failed to follow legal procedures or cite any reason as to why he should be granted less time.
“(Kodak Black) has not presented ‘extraordinary and compelling reasons’ supporting his request for release,” assistant U.S. Attorney Bruce O. Brown wrote in response to the motion. “Stated more correction, (Kodak Black) has not presented ANY reason supporting his request for release. He merely states he is not an evil person and promises to participate in community-based programs aimed at helping the ‘younger generation.’ That simply is inadequate pursuant to the statute.”

In a handwritten letter, Kodak made his plea for early release and insisted he could be rehabilitated.

“With all due deference, I come in truth,” he wrote. “I acknowledge my mistakes and I take full responsibility for my actions. I am not a evil or demented person. I am salvageble [sic] and I have the ability and potential to live a prosperous and positive life.”
Evidently, federal prosecutors didn’t agree.
