Kodak Black has been in the news often recently, mostly for the wrong reason. Now he seems to be turning things around, as TMZ reports that the rapper is helping Paige Cook’s campaign to donate 7,600 notebooks and 60,000 pencils to students in the Cleburne Independent School District in Texas. Many in that district come from low-income families and could really use the help.
Cook’s goal was originally only 40,000 pencils but this year raised the goal by adding notebooks and 20,000 pencils. Bradford Cohen, Kodak Black’s lawyer, told TMZ that Kodak picked up the tab for the notebooks, by donating $12,500.
Kodak has done some positive philanthropy in the past, such as donating $10,000 to a children’s hospital in Florida. But like I said, Kodak has had some image problems recently, with the inappropriate flirting with Lauren London, beefing with Lil Wayne, and being busted at the border for carrying weapons in his tour bus.
I’m not sure exactly what Kodak’s motivations are and even if he really doesn’t care about charity and is only donating to save face, people in need are still getting the money. I wonder if Kodak would have done this if he had not had such negative press recently.
