Joe Budden has expressed surprise that it took people so long to notice something has been off about Kodak Black’s behavior.
In a new clip from the Joe Budden Podcast shared on Friday (November 10), Budden referenced incidents from the past few months that pointed to Kodak’s deteriorating state, saying that the Florida rapper’s infamous Drink Champs interview was by no means the first sign.

“Kodak Black looked like pure shit on Drink Champs,” Budden began. “And he looked like shit when he was wiggling around on the floor, talking to himself in the dark when his man was taping him … didn’t look the greatest when he dodged that bullet from two feet away that we all watched.
“The internet pick funny times to be concerned about people. I’ve been concerned about him for the last year.”
Kodak Black’s been facing a lot of backlash for the way he has presented himself of late, which is why the “Hope You Know” hitmaker recently promised to change his ways following the release of his latest project.
Earlier this week, he dropped an 18-track album titled When I Was Dead — a follow-up to May’s Pistolz & Pearlz — with no advance warning. Around the time of the album’s release, the Florida rapper went live on social media to deliver a message to his fans, saying that he was ready to turn over a new leaf.
“I vow to do better on any area I lack, or some slack needs to be picked up on,” he said. “I must do better. I must do this shit.”
He then expressed love for his supporters, saying: “I appreciate y’all, because if it was up to them, I’d have been out of here.”

Kodak’s health, both physical and mental, has had the Hip Hop community worried since last month. When he stopped by Drink Champs for an interview with N.O.R.E and DJ EFN in October, he appeared unstable to many viewers and listeners.
