Mellow Rackz Drops Diss Track Aimed at Ex-Fiancé Kodak Black
The rap world just got another dose of drama as Mellow Rackz, rapper and ex-fiancée of Kodak Black, released a surprise diss track aimed squarely at the Florida hitmaker. The fiery response came just days after Kodak appeared to take subliminal shots at NBA YoungBoy, who has been previously linked to Mellow—escalating tension between the three artists. Despite Mellow and Kodak’s romance, the two abruptly separated in 2021. However, fans are shocked that the once happy couple are now enemies.
Kodak Black’s Career: Controversy, Chart-Toppers, and Commercial Success
Before the personal drama and diss tracks, Kodak Black—born Bill Kahan Kapri (formerly Dieuson Octave)—was already a force in hip-hop. Hailing from Pompano Beach, Florida, he gained early attention with the viral 2014 tracks “No Flockin” and “Skrt”. These breakout songs, especially “No Flockin,” which later became a sleeper hit, earned him a deal with Atlantic Records and set the tone for his career: raw, unpredictable, and wildly popular among Gen Z listeners.
Kodak’s commercial breakthrough came in 2017 with “Tunnel Vision”, which climbed to No. 6 on the Billboard Hot 100. That same year, his debut studio album Painting Pictures reached No. 3 on the Billboard 200, while his mixtape Project Baby 2 nearly topped the chart at No. 2. The mixtape’s lead single “Roll in Peace” featuring XXXTentacion was certified triple platinum, showcasing Kodak’s ability to balance street anthems with radio appeal.
His second studio album, Dying to Live (2018), delivered his biggest chart success to date. The Travis Scott and Offset-assisted single “Zeze” became a cultural phenomenon, peaking at No. 2 on the Hot 100 and going sextuple platinum. For many fans, this era solidified Kodak as one of the most influential voices of the SoundCloud generation who successfully transitioned to the mainstream.
Trump, Legal Setbacks and Super Gremlin
Despite legal setbacks—including multiple arrests, a high-profile prison sentence, and a commuted sentence by former President Donald Trump—Kodak continued to release music. While serving time, he dropped his third album Bill Israel(2020), followed by a strong comeback with Super Gremlin in 2021. That single reached No. 3 on the Billboard Hot 100 and brought Kodak back into the spotlight.
In 2022, he released Back for Everything, and followed it with Pistolz & Pearlz and When I Was Dead in 2023—each project showcasing a matured, sometimes introspective version of the artist. Despite constant controversy, Kodak’s place in hip-hop history is undeniable. With multiple platinum hits, chart-topping albums, and a loyal fanbase, his influence continues to ripple across rap’s evolving landscape.
The Track That Sparked It All: Kodak vs. YoungBoy
Kodak Black, known for his unfiltered lyrics and controversial social media presence, dropped a new song titled “I Wish I Knew To Go To Michigan” on July 28. While the track doesn’t mention NBA YoungBoy by name, fans were quick to pick up on what sounded like veiled shots. This is far from the first time Kodak and YoungBoy have been at odds, with their feud dating back years and marked by a long string of online jabs, sneak disses, and industry politics.
But this time, the tension seemed to spill into Kodak’s personal past, triggering a surprising voice from the sidelines—Mellow Rackz, his ex-fiancée.
Enter Mellow Rackz: “Poke the Bear” Gets Personal
On July 29, Mellow Rackz released a diss track called “Poke the Bear,” where she made it abundantly clear she’s no longer keeping quiet about Kodak. The song features razor-sharp bars, references to their past relationship, and subtle nods to behind-the-scenes drama fans had long speculated about.
While the track hasn’t hit streaming platforms yet, clips of the freestyle began circulating across Instagram and TikTok. The single touches on Kodak’s alleged drug addiction, his fathering skills and his jealous ways.
Fans immediately recognized the lines as both a personal jab and a nod to Kodak’s recent antics in the ongoing YoungBoy beef.
The History: Kodak Black and Mellow Rackz’s Brief Engagement
Kodak Black proposed to Mellow Rackz in 2021 in grand fashion—complete with a sky-written message, diamond ring, and public declaration of love. The engagement made headlines across the entertainment world, with many speculating the couple might become hip-hop’s next power duo.
But their relationship was short-lived. Within months, they parted ways under unclear circumstances. Mellow later spoke vaguely about the breakup in interviews, hinting at toxicity, control, and lack of support.
Meanwhile, Kodak continued to make headlines, not just for his music, but also for controversial behavior—including social media beefs, legal trouble, and rumored tensions within his own label.
Why Now? The Diss Track’s Timing Feels Calculated
The timing of Mellow’s diss track is no accident. It arrives just as Kodak is rekindling beef with NBA YoungBoy—a rapper Mellow has been seen associating with since her split from Kodak. Though the nature of their connection remains unclear, Kodak’s lyrics suggest some unresolved feelings about their post-breakup affiliations.
Some fans believe Mellow’s track is both a warning and a flex. One tweet read:
“Mellow Rackz really said ‘don’t play with me, play with your momma’ 💅”
Others praised her for clapping back at Kodak’s continued antics:
“Kodak been wilding for years, and she just let it out. Respectfully.”
Producer dyryk Gets Dragged Into the Drama
To add another layer, Mellow Rackz also appeared to call out dyryk, Kodak’s longtime producer and frequent collaborator. She shared screenshots of past messages showing the producer praising her talent. Further, implying that the people closest to Kodak weren’t always loyal behind closed doors.
In her diss, she allegedly accuses him of messaging her and saying explicit comments while in her home.
While dyryk has not publicly responded, the moment raised eyebrows, especially among Kodak’s inner circle. Industry watchers are already bracing for a possible response track or Instagram rant from the rapper.
Fan Reaction: Split but Engaged
As expected, the internet is divided. While many sided with Mellow Rackz for defending herself, others accused her of clout chasing. Still, the majority of fans simply enjoyed the drama.
One popular meme joked:
“Kodak got dissed by his ex and NBA YoungBoy in the same week… tough.”
Others suggested the feud could boost all parties involved. Diss tracks, after all, have long been part of rap’s DNA—and controversy often leads to streams.
A Rising Star or One-Time Diss?
Mellow Rackz may be better known for her relationships than her catalog, but “Poke the Bear” is already generating traction. Her delivery, tone, and confidence suggest she’s more than just Kodak’s ex—she’s an artist with a message.
If she follows up with more consistent releases, this diss could mark a turning point in her career—from social media mainstay to serious lyricist.
Kodak’s Response: Wait and Watch
As of now, Kodak Black hasn’t responded publicly to Mellow’s diss. But if his track record tells us anything, it’s that he doesn’t let jabs slide easily. Fans are watching closely to see if he retaliates musically or launches into one of his signature Instagram livestreams.
Either way, the spotlight is back on Kodak, Mellow, and NBA YoungBoy. Three artists whose connections, tensions, and talent continue to keep the rap world on edge.
Is a New Rap Beef Happening?
Hip-hop has always been about expression, and sometimes that expression cuts deep. Mellow Rackz’s diss track might not just be about Kodak—it’s about reclaiming power, reputation, and voice. And with social media amplifying every beat and bar, her message is definitely being heard.
Stay tuned, because this rap saga is far from over.
