Kodak Black sparked outrage this weekend when he announced his intentions to romantically p ursue Lauren London, the girlfriend of the recently s* lain rapper Nipsey Hussle.
"Lauren London that's baby, though.
She about to be out here single," Kodak said during an Instagram Live broadcast. "She’s finna be a whole widow out here. I’ll be the best man I can be for her. I’ll give her a whole year. She might need a whole year to be crying and sh*t for him."
He continued: "I ain’t trying to sh*oot [my sh ot] at her. I’m saying, listen. She can do two, three years. I’ll try to be like the friend if you need to holla or a shoulder to lean on. She can call my line."
Kodak Black on IG talks about Lauren London being single and a widow, that she only needs a year to grieve for Nipsey Hussle, before Kodak will get at her.

This is so shameful and disrespectful 🤦🏿♂️ pic.twitter.com/4bWiUj2Kt3
Fans and hip-hop figures blasted Kodak for his level of disrespect. Bronx-based MC Mysonne the General criticized Kodak for taking "clout chasing" too far, while The Game demanded Kodak to keep Nipsey's name out of his mouth. And now T.I. has decided to put the South Florida rapper in check.
"Hey, Kodak Black: You outta pocket, n**ga. Fix that sh*t—quickly, expeditiously" Tip said in an Instagram video. "[...] If I see you, I’ma say it to your face. You outta pocket, n**ga. Get your motherf**kin' self together."
T.I. captioned the post: "Getcho Muuuf**kin Self Together Young Nigga!!!! This ain’t no Muuuf**kin GAME!!!!"
Kodak commented on T.I.'s video, simply writing: "Or what?" He also addressed the ATL rapper on Instagram Live.
"Man, listen: I said what I said. Y'all tryin' to misconstrue what I said [...] Fuck that. I don't give f*uck what y'all talkin' about," Kodak said. "T.I., man, I don't care. I'm in Georgia right now."
Nipsey was m* urdered less than a week ago in the Hyde Park neighborhood of South Los Angeles. He and London had been dating since 2013, and welcomed their first child together in 2016. Shortly after Nipsey was f atally sh* ot, London opened up about her l*oss via Instagram.
"I am completely lost," she wrote. "I’ve lost my best friend, my sanctuary my protector my soul ... I’m lost without you. We are lost without you babe. I have no words."
