Kodak Black Goes Off on YoungBoy's MASA Album: “This Trash Ain’t It!”

The rap world woke up to Kodak Black on a mission, and his target? None other than YoungBoy Never Broke Again and his newly released album MASA. In a now-viral series of Instagram stories and tweets, Kodak didn’t hold back, calling the album “straight trash” and “a waste of hard drive space.” The shots were so raw that fans and blogs couldn’t help but take sides. The digital trenches are now flooded with reactions.

MASA, YoungBoy’s latest drop under Motown, arrived July 25 with a surprise rollout and a cryptic title that had fans dissecting lyrics and symbols. But Kodak Black had no patience for subtlety. Hours after the release, he took to social media and declared: “That new MASA? Man, y’all better stop lying to that boy. That sh*t trash. He need to go back to Baton Rouge and regroup.”

Within minutes, #KodakVsYB was trending on X (formerly Twitter) as fan armies clashed over bars, albums, and old beefs. It’s not the first time tension has sparked between the two Southern stars. But this may be the most direct and viral swipe yet.

This isn’t just about an album. Kodak and YoungBoy’s friction dates back years, from industry comparisons to rumored behind-the-scenes jabs. Both have built fan bases that don’t play when their favorites are disrespected, and Kodak’s diss added more gasoline to an already fiery rivalry.

Some fans believe the diss is personal. Others speculate Kodak is baiting YoungBoy into a lyrical war to gain momentum for his next release. Whatever the motive, it worked. Both artists are trending, MASA’s streaming numbers are climbing, and Kodak’s next move has become a focal point of rap discourse.

Rappers and influencers quickly joined the conversation. DJ Akademiks posted laughing emojis under a Kodak fan post. Boosie Badazz weighed in with a cryptic “They both legends, but y’all know who really had the streets.” Even industry execs like Lyor Cohen reportedly sent out feelers, wondering if a response track from YoungBoy is imminent.

Meanwhile, fans began comparing Kodak’s last album to MASA track-by-track, creating viral polls and memes that kept both artists at the top of the trending list.

Will YoungBoy respond? Is Kodak prepping a diss track? One thing’s for sure, this isn’t the end. With fans and artists alike tuned into the tension, all eyes are on what comes next.

In hip hop, beef sells. And this one just made business personal again.
