Power 106 has permanently banned rapper Kodak Black’s music from the station’s airwaves after he made insensitive comments to rapper Nipsey Hussle’s fiancee actress Lauren London, 34.
Hussle, 33, was gunned down outside his clothing store in Los Angeles last Sunday.
Kodak, 21, apologized to London after he remarked on her current relationship status, noting that he would be the “best man” to replace Hussle in her life.
“She finna be out here single! She finna be a whole widow out here,” he said in an Instagram Story on Saturday. “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 s-t for him.”

When an associate told Kodak that it was “too soon” to pursue London, Kodak snapped, “I ain’t trying to shoot [my shot] at her! I’m saying she can do two, three years. But, I’ll try to be like, if you need a friend to holla or a shoulder to lean on… you can call my line.”
After challenging rapper T.I. to a fight, Kodak backed down only when Power 106 announced his music was banned late Saturday.
“We stand with the family of Nipsey Hussle and are appalled by the disrespectful and poor comments made by Kodak Black,” tweeted Justin Credible. “With that, Power 106 will not support Kodak Black’s music. #LongLiveNip”.

Kodak offered a halfhearted apology to London in an Instagram Story video.
“If I disrespected you, Lauren London, in any shape or form, I’m sorry, even though I didn’t [do anything wrong],” he said.
On Monday, the radio station declined to lift the rapper’s ban after reviewing previous disrespectful incidents by Kodak towards female artists, a source said.
Last month, Kodak sexually harassed stud lesbian rapper Young MA, reminding her that she was a female and suggesting he would turn her straight.
Young MA, who prefers to dress in stereotypical masculine clothing, responded by affirming she is a female who is attracted to other females. She was visibly upset in an Instagram Story video.
Kodak, who was born Dieuson Octave, is awaiting trial in South Carolina for raping a 14-year-old girl and inviting an associate to have sex with her in 2016.
12th Circuit Solicitor Ed Clements told The State newspaper the rapper faces 30 years in prison if convicted on all charges.
Clements said Kodak met the high school student at a concert in February 2016. He took her back to his hotel, forced her onto a bed, then the floor where he committed sexual battery, although she repeatedly told him to stop.
He also bit the girl on the “neck and her right breast,” according to Kodak’s arrest warrant. He was arrested and released on $100,000 bond.
He is expected to go to trial in the summer or early fall of 2019.
Journalist Ivie Ani pointed out the hypocrisy of rappers T.I., The Game and Gillie Da Kid remaining silent on the rapper’s rape charges.
“1. Kodak Black’s rape charges were public for yrs.,” she tweeted on Sunday. “His peers stayed silent 2. Men being vocal after his Lauren London comments show women are only cared for bc of their proximity to men as a wife/mother/friend. They responded out of respect to another man, not to her as a woman”.

Goodt! Get that thang off the airways and push that roach back underground where he belongs.
That coat alone should be a charge! It has to be a knock off. Does Gucci and LV collaborate. You can tell folk who aint neva had nuffin! This ridiculousness is a farce!
How about you ban his azz because of the STATUTORY rape charge and not for reckless words that don’t mean anything?? Priorities people, priorities…
Oh well … moving on https://media2.giphy.com/media/X1aI800CRXLzi/giphy.gif

Yuck…Kodak Black looks like the Leprechaun from that movie, “Leprechaun” had a love child with Buckwheat. UGLY, crunchy, runt ass roach.
BTW, that Ivie chick is RIGHT and made excellent points.
THANK YOU!
Who is this coon?
Preach Ivie ?
Education and environment are two determining factors of who a person becomes in life. I’ll assume this poor kid lacked in both of those areas. I said what I said.
Y’all so damn dramatic. The boy said in 2-3 years he would be a friend or whatever she need. That’s what’s so disrespectful to y’all??? Yea oh k. She not Nipssy property.
Chile…
He’s the inspiration for bodak yellow that’s pretty much it…
Shoulda been done long time ago. Ban anything that praises the killing of each other, the degrading of women and hell, for the most part, anything we CAN’T decipher with the listening ear…..bka MUMBLE rap. I sound old for this, but something’s gotta give. Our CHILDREN are in danger.
I guess you missed the part where it said he’s under investigation for rape. Or you only saw the Lauren London part? Oh ok. He’s a problem all together.
Is his real name pronounced like “Dyson” the vacuum? In any case, his name fits his face…..
that jacket is a eyesore
That lil’ rachet faced midget terrified me!!????
These record labels should receive backlash for continuing to work with artists like this.
Sandra how do women like M.A feel about cramps and their cycle every month just curious..?
STOP LETTING YOUR UNDERAGE CHILDREN TRAVEL ALONE! kodak looks somewhat retarded/slow. he looks like he will slap you, even though he was a teen why would a 14 year old be alone with him. why are parents letting their 14 year old go to hotels by them self. everyone needs to be held accountability.
his peers are probably waiting for his trial to wrap up before they say anything. you guys do remember “civil rights””everyone has their day in court”. in private they have probably discussed the case.
Im not a fan of kodak black but its a good idea to ban his music because you dont want a crazy person getting offended.
Lauren London(whom I worked in her movie “This Christmas”) was an interesting gig to add to my resume.
lol you must of missed the part where they are only doing this because of the Lauren London part. And for that part— folks are being dramatic. They should of been did this if he’s been a problem.
Somebody needs to tell Kodak… when your body is soft and tubby-looking, you probably don’t need to be posing bare-chested on the red carpet.
#justsaying
That was our question when he first rocked it! Consensus: issa knockoff b/c till this day, there was no collab b/w said designers, nor can said jacket be found ANYWHERE!! I’ve played w/ the idea that maybe the designers custom made it for him, but that makes 0 sense b/c y wouldn’t they have done it b4!? He’s not the best model! It actually looks more knockoffish on him!
Good! We as a society need to start banning and ignoring this destructive attention seeking behavior. Its gotten out,if control. Remeber how they used to tell us as kids “If you ignore it, it will go away?”
This dummy just pisted a video about lol Wayne being an “old head” and he don’t like “old folks.” Well dum dum, Lauren is,in her 30’s like Wayne and she’s his bm. This just proves that Kodak is just saying outrageous shit for the views.. He has no substance.
He even said he was better than Tupac and Biggie. I can honestly say, IDK not one song of his. I’ve just heard his name and see pics of him here and there. Somebody said you should know he came from a trash ass home, his mama is only 32.
Tubby chile …. rofl …. he did that video with Bruno and Gucci and felt dem man titties have arrived …… Chile Not !!!!!!! I was straight laughing at that clown in that video rofl or is that the same guy? https://media1.giphy.com/media/GpyS1lJXJYupG/giphy.gif
I really be wondering where folks team be at while they are posting foolish stuff online. The media is really playing this one out. I wish folks would keep this same “respectful” energy across the board.
Isn’t he the one that said he doesn’t want to date a black chick because he doesn’t want his kid’s to come out black like him? Or that he’d rather have a light skin chick so he could “break her down”. Or did he say dark skin chick? I can’t remember off top.
I still can’t understand how these 14 years old girls are leaving concerts with these grown men..
social media, the internet , all of it ruining these stars lives.
just stop talking. Better yet stop recording everything
What that is?
Lmao
Standing there looking stupid right along with him. I always wondered what was the job of an entourage. Like what do ALL OF YALL do exactly?
No I ain’t miss that part at all I haven’t missed it for years but Noooobody in the music industry seemed to give a damn about his problems until he disrespects Nipsey
Amen !!!!!
A joke that went over your head apparently
have you heard of google? Its free to use…
So I wonder what will happen if he is on songs with other artists… Hmm? He about an ignorant something, lawd!
They pulled his “music?” He can’t sing. He couldn’t play dead in tune, let alone an instrument. I hardly considered his offerings music.
Back in the day, entertainers had conduct clauses in their contracts. They weren’t allowed to brazenly tarnish their record labels and production studios. Nowadays, all bets are off. They more disgusting the behavior, the greater the reward.
Probably the same chile …… they be hurting too ….. rofl !!!!! Anunnaki gon rofl …. https://media2.giphy.com/media/65ODCwM00NVmEyLsX3/giphy.gif
Lets move on everyone!
Please.
_______________!!! I can’t today!
So the alleged rape of a 14 year old was insufficient to getting his music banned but dissing Lauren London is what did the trick? Smdh
Right! Where were the parents?!
It is!
?? TRUTH You just took the words out of my mouth ???
As I said on a different post, we need to stop picking & choosing which disrespect to accept ?? all these rappers etc show disrespect in their music etc everyday but we pick & chose who to stand up against
That’s all I was trying to say… the same thing. Should have been cancelled and muted. This fool , BEEN out of order and STAYS out of order. He has a reckless mouth and he really does act kinda of “slow.”
ban Kodak ?? they draggin it
He’s from Florida and his music plays all over here. I dont think them banning his music will work in the south. One thing most people dont know about Florida is that we are a very ratchet and hood state in some cities. There’s about 1000 other Kodaks. Go to a hood club in florida and you will see…
he said he doesnt like dark skin. like a lot of dark skin men.????? preference
I really believe you.
Preach!! https://media2.giphy.com/media/doUu2ByZDbPYQ/giphy.gif
KB and Tracy Morgan looks like they can be related. That’s all I have.
YUP…its hypocritical isn’t it
Ok “Respect Self”
Hes disrespectful all around. Especially to women. …but he gets canceled for disrespecting a favorite rappers “widow” and he gets cancelled? Like that’s what it took?
Kodak Wack ya mean…… well he black than a mofo too..!!!!
Nah nah nah boo boo!!!
Naw I be like, what dis is?
Ani is spot on…. I been sayin this troll is a rapist. That isn’t even the first case his ugly ass caught. Little dusty mf feels entitled… Other people see it now cause he’s been trolling folks online lately… I saw his entitlement a long time ago… He takes da puzzee cause he thinks it belongs to him.
No one cares if his music is banned from ONE radio station. It wont stop him or his disrespectful comments. He has been disrespectful for a very long time. Why did it take this? This guy has put his hands on women before……….and you just NOW want to ban him. Naaaa………….
I knew it was something like that.
What they be doing at google? Is they hiring or naw
I believe it…I’m considering moving to FL and I already saw that the black men down there are not my cup of tea… I will be looking to go interracial
Yes, very hypocritical
Being fast sadly… She obviously lacked guidance somewhere.
When we went to concerts as a teen one of our parents were there. At teen events we were dropped off and picked up by an adult promptly afterwards and sometimes before the event ended.
Blunt rollers and bag carriers
Can’t nobody tell dat mf he ain’t sexy
No much skill required, huh? I’m in the wrong profession.
Google it ?
Fugg her… Who smelled better Chris or Idris??
Probably curse the whole time…. Or take meds to stop it
He called dapper dan for the hook up
He really needs to keep that torso covered, that mouth shut, and that phone off.
I’m too ambitious to settle for that job
Lol I feel you… I love living here, we definitely have some good stuff going on. We got some fine professional brothers as well, And its easy to go interracial here..they love black girls from my experience.
Lmaooo, oh,
Sad to say! There are a lot of kodaks running around Florida. Jacksonville, Tampa, Orlando, and South Florida takes the cake (Belle Glades, Ft Lauderdale, and all of Miami Dade County). They take pride in being ghetto, ratchet, ignorant and disrespectful!
But they did not ban his music for the alleged rape of a woman?
And don’t forget rape!
Kodak Black has admitted he is a serial rapist and can’t help himself. He needs to get help or get off the streets.
I mean, shiidd, easy money! Eh.
So you lumping all the black men in Florida in one category? ? kinda like saying all sisters are loud and ghetto, that’s why we likem light, white and bright!!
Good job Power 106 which is really Power 105.9.
I hope 93.5 and 92.3 need to back them up and do the same. But I don’t think they ever even played that junk to begin with now that I think about it.
The hypocrisy is Real….folks needs to stop the bullshidt
Dieuson
??
How you pronounce this??
“Dye-U-son?”
Did his momma throw Scrabble tiles on the floor?
I don’t know why Kb made a fool of himself. As you can see, he isn’t even LL’s type of guy.
You can’t get mad at them for not speaking out on his rape charges. I doubt any of them know anything about him, the only reason he caught they attention was because he was speaking on Nipsey.
I don’t even know anything about him, what he sing or who he is.
They probably ain’t never paid any attention to him until this week.
Wonder why it’s taking 3 years to take his ass to trial.
I certainly never paid any attn to him. Didn’t even know he had a rape case.
Think it’s Dyson like the vacuum. Pbly cuz he sucks.
Yup she put them in the “not her type” category
Like are their parents not attending with them?
I can’t stand to hear this little trolls songs…when they come on the radio…I change the station…..do they actually call this rap???? All it sounds like to me is a bunch of no skills having kids….singing off key and semi rapping…..its trash…all of it…TRASH…..
She 32 right now?
Not when the voices in his head tells him he is
Has it occurred to her that those niccas in the Dade don’t want her ass either? She could have one leg and saggy lopsided tits!
Someone made the comment (on IG) that she was. IDK nothing about this dude nor his mama.
I can’t with you today Renee??
Ummmm LL definitely had a kid with lil Wayne. Wayne and KB look like second cousins lmao. She upgraded when she got with Nipsey tho. Hes definitely my type. Tall light skin and rugged lol.
Well pardon me all the hell…yew mean tew tell me they band his musik because his insensitive comment about Lauren London but allowed his musik to play while he was allegedly accused of being a serial rapist and a domestic abuser
I agree because I didn’t know shit about his ugly ass or his rape trial but the video and story about his disrespect towards Lauren and Nipsey was everywhere, which I found horrible.
This guy is disgusting, hopefully, his misogynistic, predatory azz will be locked away until he gets some sense, smh.
now explain to me how a 14 y/o not only gets to attend his concert, but then manages to end up meeting him AND ending up in a hotel room with him????? how Sway???
logout (right now).
This speaks to his character more than he realizes and he should have had more common sense and decency than to say these things publicly even if he had these things in his brain .. I think this dummy thought people were going to jack what he said and maybe even get a few laughs … There IS power in SILENCE sometimes ……………………
*crosses arms* I was just making sure.
Kodack has really proven himself to be a horrible human being. Like he goes out of his way to say nasty, vile and disgusting things. Smh
Shhhhh…I wish it was just the children. These mumble spells and chants damn near bout to take all us down, young and old alike. (Not really just the children, but I hope you know what I mean).
Not only in the rap area but everywhere else too.
Don’t crucify one person for something, someone you choose to follow or admire has done. I see it all the time within the black community.
We have a huge hypocritical problem.
I feel you but im happy he’s been cancelled. Is it long overdue? Of course it is, but better late than never.
I think he a little retarded
I wonder if his jacket is sticking to his back. Tis all I got for this gremlin.
I agree, I used rap tho because that’s what were talking about…but I definitely feel the same
They could’ve kept the bann going though ijs…music sux
South Florida takes the cake, the cookies and the whole publix bakery! but my sis in law took me to Jacksonville south side… and ooo chile.
The whole bakery ???
He looks disgusting…..but nice jacket.
It’s very distressful to them. They suffer through it or they get a prescription for hormone blockers or birth control pills to stop the flow.
Hahahah, 32,? His mother is younger than Lauren London.
Lawd ?
Dumb ass
Du son
https://www.howtopronounce.com/dieuson/
He still sucks like Dyson tho
EXACTLY! WHAT ABOUT THAT WAYNE. i think everybody forgot about that hookup
Yeah, his momma was playing toddler Scrabble.
Hmmmm. Thank you
Wait a minute! These fools are going off about a comment went this man is accused of raping a 14 year old. Black men never have our backs.
LOL!
He’s no ones type of guy. Lil burnt roach lisa simpson looking bas tard.
We know yall are ratchet and accept and make excuses for his sorry ass. Just throw the whole state away if yall got 1000 kodak wacks.
So who else music gone get banned? Ive heard others say and do worse than this. I don’t even like Kodak black, but people starting 2 band wagon. Most people couldn’t even name 5 of Nipsey songs off they dome! I’m just saying keep that same energy everyone! How bout give people they flowers while there still alive.
The prosecutor was just granted the order for KB’s DNA. They had a match based on a hit from a database in another state, but for legal reasons, the state needed a sample since it wasn’t taken at the time of his arrest.
Ty… This is the first I’ve heard about this and 3 yrs seemed like a long time.
So we dont ban his music because of a rape case, and we dont ban the music of strippers who admit they drugged and robbed men, but we ban him because of a mention of a dead rappers gf?? Wow. The industry is pititful with all of them being cokeheads and rapists.
Damn you can’t say anything nowadays?
I can’t name 1 Nipsey Hussle song so I just sit back and ???
R Kelly comes to mind. It’s the parents
yes, i forgot about lil’ wayne. for someone to get with him, there is hope for mankind.
agreed, smh

This is so dumb. I don’t know not one song of his or the man who was killed. What a do know is the young man is a product of how he’s been shown to act. We can’t teach a generation and be mad when they master the instruction.
