Kodak Black Says He No Longer Wants to Collab With Drake After He Made ‘Her Loss’ With 21 Savage
Kodak Black Won’t Collab With Drake Because Released “Her Loss” With 21 Savage
They have collaborated in the past and regularly praise one another’s efforts, but Kodak Black has a bone to pick with Drake. The Florida rapper isn’t afraid of sharing his thoughts on social media, which was the case during a recent Livestream. In a clip, Kodak shares a screen with someone who tells him that they’re waiting on a new collaboration with Drake. It isn’t something that will materialize soon, suggests Kodak, because of a joint project that has yet to materialize.
“I had told Drake I don’t wanna do no collab,” said Kodak. “No songs or no album. ‘Cause we supposed to done did a whole album before him a lil’ buddy.” This was seemingly a reference to Drake and 21 Savage’s hit album, Her Loss. “Before him and lil’ buddy did that sh*t. I had told him I wanted to wait [until] like, 2023. Like, after February.”
Kodak Previously Teased Multiple Tracks With Drake
A joint project isn’t that far-fetched, considering Kodak suggested an album was on the horizon last summer. “Me and Drake, we got some more music,” he said at the time. “It’s really on like whenever bruh might feel like he ready and stuff. They be like, ‘Is we gon’ drop the album? We gon’ do this?’ It’s really on him. We got a lot of songs, though.”
In 2020, Kodak even commented under one of Drake’s social media posts about partnering on a record. “I Am Your Biggest Fan Sir. … If We Can’t Do A Whole Album Together, I Never Want To Do A Song With You Sir.” Drake, in turn, further teased the collaboration after “Haitian Boy Kodak” arrived. “Man you always give me that inspiration…Real POET…Oracle. … Man let’s do some music for sure. But for real you really on another level.”
Drake Showers Kodak With Praise
Fans aren’t so sure that Kodak and Drizzy won’t collide in the studio once again. As formerly mentioned, they’ve publicly praised one another’s work and found success in previous collaborations. When Kodak went on Livestream in January 2022, fans quickly noted “Champagne Papi” was in the comment section. “You really all that for this generation and the next one if we being honest,” he wrote.

Drake & 21 Savage Settle With Vogue Over Fake Magazine Lawsuit
During Drake and 21 Savage’s rollout for their 2022 album Her Loss, the two decided to print out fake Vogue magazines with themselves on the cover and throughout the entire book. They even decided to sell the magazine, with many people even believing that the two actually graced the cover of Vogue. While this marketing strategy was warmly received by the two’s fans, people at Vogue thought otherwise and decided to sue the duo.
Vogue had initially asked Drake and 21 to pay $4 million to use the fake cover, and in a recent update, the duo and the highly coveted magazine company have settled the lawsuit.
According to TMZ, the lawyers for Drake and 21 met with Vogue’s parent company Condé Nast and were able to settle out of court for an undisclosed amount. As a part of the settlement, the parent company also received an injunction to prevent the commercial use of Vogue’s trademarks.
The parent company’s attorney said that the payment from Drake and 21 will “bolster our ongoing creative output, including Vogue editorial.”
Vogue was the only company to come after Drake and 21, who also made a fake Howard Stern interview and fake Saturday Night Live performance, with Michael B. Jordan introducing them, as marketing for their album.

Drake And 21 Savage Have Reportedly Settled Their Lawsuit With ‘Vogue’ Following Their Controversial Album Campaign
Drake and 21 Savage‘s promotional campaign for their 2022 collaborative album Her Loss was effective in making it one of the most talked-about albums of last year. Though, not everyone was a fan. Back in November, shortly after the release of Her Loss, Vogue sued the duo for using fake covers of the magazine to promote the album.
Today (February 16), Semafor is reporting that the rappers and the magazine have settled the lawsuit.
Drake and 21 Savage have reportedly agreed to pay magazine publisher Condé Nast as part of the settlement.
Despite the controversies attached to the album, 21 only speaks fondly of the creative process and the reception. In an interview with Complex, he revealed that he felt Her Loss helped satisfy his current fan base, while also helping him gain more fans.
“I think it put me on a broader scale,” 21 said. “It leveled me up for sure, it made me hotter for sure. But I also think that comes from me not having any music out. It’s just been straight features for two years before that sh*t happened. I think [my fans] wanted me to drop, so whatever I dropped was going to do that. People were ready to hear me rap, so I think that’s what I got from it too, it fed my fans.”

Kiely Williams Says Drake Should Apologize To Megan Thee Stallion
Kiely Williams of R&B girl group 3LW just told Drake to apologize to Megan Thee Stallion, sending a shot via Twitter. Moreover, she responded to comments Drake recently made about artists who reach streaming milestones deserving bonuses. “We should get bonuses like athletes to motivate the future artists to be consistent and competitive,” he wrote this week. “So feel free to send me a Lebron sized cheque I have enough dinner plates,” adding a laughing emoji and heart. Williams then responded to these comments via Twitter. “Oh f**k off,” she clapped back. “It’s something like 1000 streams = 1 album sale. Go to bed, Aubrey. And apologize to Meg. Better yet, delete that whole album.”
Moreover, the 36-year-old referred to Drake’s alleged shots aimed toward Megan Thee Stallion on his song “Circo Loco.” It’s from his collab tape with 21 Savage, Her Loss, and apparently references the Tory Lanez situation. “This b***h lie ’bout getting shots, but she still a stallion,” he rapped. “She don’t even get the joke, but she still smiling.” Many interpreted these bars as being about Megan, whom Tory Lanez shot in an altercation in July of 2020. Back when Drake dropped this bar, authorities hadn’t yet found Tory guilty of the crime.
Meanwhile, Meg herself addressed the diss, as she juggled her legal battle and album drop at the same time. It was certainly a lot to handle, and she didn’t hold back. “I know I’m very popular but y’all gotta stop attaching weak ass conspiracy theories in bars to my name lol,” she tweeted. “N***as nor h**s EVER address me or @ me WITH a fact or receipts. I AM CLOUT B***H keep sucking my pussy…
“Stop using my shooting for clout b***h ass N***as!” she continued. “Since when tf is it cool to joke abt women getting shot ! You n***as especially RAP N***AS ARE LAME! Ready to boycott bout shoes and clothes but dog pile on a black woman when she say one of y’all homeboys abused her.” For what it’s worth, since she tweeted this in November, no party has said that things smoothed out. Still, hopefully things got cleared up behind the scenes. However you may feel about Drake’s streaming comments, stay tuned to HNHH to see if the Meg apology comes anytime soon.
