The video quickly went viral, catching the attention of Kanye West, who’s embroiled in his own controversy following a days-long incendiary Twitter rant.  

Ye shared a video expressing his concern for his Vultures 2 collaborator. According to West, while he “wouldn’t want nobody to like do an intervention on me,” he felt compelled to intervene after seeing Kodak Black wearing a Donda chain. 

“I’ve seen this video my brother Kodak and I feel a calling,” West stated. “He’s actually wearing this Donda chain. How he’s sitting here wearing this chain unless something saying to go and get my brother. And I thought about it before, I was like, ‘Man I should go down to Miami. Maybe I could be the person that could make a difference.’ That’s what I’m about to do right now.” 

Kanye West Rallies Atlanta Rappers To Support Kodak Black Despite Recent Remarks 

Once West realized Black was in Atlanta, he called on his peers in the city to disregard his recent comments and join him. 

“I know I said f### rappers and all that,” he added. “But right now, I need y’all man to like, really go and do something. I know I said a lot of s### man, just let me go down there and go help this man out. I’m about to get my flight right now.”
