Rapper Kodak Black set off alarms among his fans on Friday, Oct. 8, 2021, when he posted distressing messages on his social media accounts indicating that he was contemplating suicide.
Immediately afterward, Kodak, 24, deleted his Twitter and Instagram accounts, sending waves of panic throughout his followers.
Black later responded to the onrush of love from his admirers on Saturday.

Kodak, the Florida native who was born Bill Kahan Kapri, also alarmingly wrote on his Twitter account: “Sitting In My Room Crying Feel Like Killing Myself.”
