Kodak Black Gifts Pompano Beach Community With 100 Air Conditioners

Kodak shows love to the people at his childhood home.

On July 3, Florida rapper Kodak Black returned to his old neighborhood, the Golden Acres projects in Pompano Beach, Florida and gifted residents with air conditioners.

Video footage caught the efforts of the “Project Baby” artist hauling in brand-new air conditioning units directly to the front steps of people’s homes in the predominantly Haitian community.

Standing on the back of a moving truck filled with the cooling units, Kodak told residents, “God [has] been with me when I had to take from people. Now that I’m blessed enough to give back, that’s what I like to do. So, we out here passing out AC units, helping install them.”

“We do it for the projects, the people relying on just enough cash to survive. Y’all come get y’all ACs. We out here,” he added.

The young rapper partnered up with Francky Pierre-Paul, a local community activist/homeless advocate and the founder and CEO of the nonprofit organization, A Different Shade of Love.

Pierre-Paul served as the plug for the ACs, which according to TMZ reports, were worth approximately $12,500.

“Today, we went back to Golden Acres where Kodak grew up and passed out 100 AC units,” Pierre-Paul wrote on Instagram.

“Kodak not only respects where he is from, but he values the people that looked out for him while he was there. He spoke on how HOT the summers can get, and AC units was the very first thing he thought of, so we did it without any hesitation. When I got the call, I smiled because I know that his heart is pure and the love is real. I’m just blessed I get to be a part of the journey!!!”
