Kodak Black reunites with childhood babysitter who shares emotional prayer during Golden Acres community visit

Rapper Kodak Black, born Dieuson Octave, had an emotional reunion with his childhood babysitter in Golden Acres, Florida. The encounter occurred during a community event where the artist paid rent for over 200 families, highlighting his ongoing commitment to giving back.

As reported by VIA-X and widely shared on social media, Kodak’s former babysitter approached him during the outreach and offered a heartfelt prayer of support. “They trying to mess you up but they can’t, God is with you,” she told him, expressing her continued faith in his resilience. She also added, “I love you baby,” to which Kodak, visibly moved, replied, “Thank you, thank you.”

Raised in Golden Acres by his single mother, Haitian immigrant Marcelene Octave, Kodak faced early hardships shaped by poverty and crime. Community figures like his babysitter provided rare but lasting guidance. Her recent words suggest she recognized his potential even then, praying for his protection through adversity.

Kodak first gained national attention with breakout tracks like “No Flockin” and “Tunnel Vision.” While his career has been marked by legal troubles, including probation violations and weapons charges, he has also received clemency—most notably from former President Donald Trump in 2021—and remained active in music and philanthropy.

Beyond his success in hip-hop, Kodak has shown growing interest in community uplift. His actions—such as funding scholarships and early childhood programs—reflect a desire to support others facing the struggles he once knew.
