Kodak Black Removes “Super Gremlin” From Future Performances As Part Of Sobriety Journey

Kodak Black has announced that he will no longer perform one of his biggest hits, “Super Gremlin,” during his live shows.

The South Florida rapper made the announcement on Instagram this week, stating that the decision is part of his commitment to sobriety.

“I’m about to stop performing ‘Super Gremlin,’ period,” Kodak said during a live stream. “I hate that lil’ shit. I’m sober for the most part […] And I say this, like, around my people them so they know… that [it’s] serious. I could talk about it now. You feel me? For the most part bro I be sober, brother.”

The track, which was a standout on Sniper Gang’s 2021 compilation album, contains a line about Percocet use that Kodak now regrets. “Like Batman, I couldn’t have waited ’til, like, Saturday [to take drugs]. Now, I can wait a few days… I’m proud of myself. I ain’t saying I couldn’t have; it was just like a n***a was scared to be sober,” he continued.

Kodak hopes that his decision will serve as inspiration for others struggling with substance abuse. “That’s motivation for n***as to feel like if the Gremlin could do it […] Y’all could do it,” he said.

This announcement follows Kodak’s recent comments on his battles with opiates. During a concert, he explained his regret over the line about taking “fake” Percocet in “Super Gremlin.” “I knew the Perc’ was fake, but I still ate it ‘cause I’m a gremlin,” he rapped on the track. Addressing the audience, he said, “It’s sad though, bruh, because it’s like that shit — the bar came to mind so quick… But we ain’t gon’ play like that, bruh. When I was at my stage, chewing on them Percs, I ain’t gonna say I popped them bitches.”

He revealed the extent of his former addiction, saying, “I was chewing 100 Percs a day, man. Average like 40. Average! If I was fucking with them fake shits, bruh, I’d have been dead… I don’t want y’all to hear that and take that and feel like it’s okay to do that shit, ya feel me?”

Earlier this year, after his arrest for cocaine possession, Kodak spoke about his efforts to get clean. “I remember a point in my life when I was chewing a lot of Percs,” he said during an April Instagram Live broadcast. “Bro, I’m proud of myself. I’ve never been this happy in my life, bro… I never took a Perc since I been home. But bro, my dosage so low that I can’t believe it myself.”
