Kodak Black, known for his eccentric personality, is once again trending, but this time, it’s not about music or his wild antics—it’s about leprechauns. The rapper recently confessed on TikTok that he has been scared of little people for his entire life, all thanks to the 90s horror flick Leprechaun.

For those unfamiliar, the movie centers around an evil leprechaun who wreaks havoc, and apparently, it left a lasting impression on Kodak. His revelation immediately became the talk of the internet, sparking memes and leaving fans utterly bewildered.

@Cryptomonk2 perfectly summed it up in the comment section of the viral video:

“Wow what lmfao,” capturing the confusion and hilarity of the moment.

The internet reacts to Kodak Black’s strange fear of little people, rooted in the 90s horror film Leprechaun—and the jokes keep coming

When Kodak Black opened up about his childhood fear, social media exploded with reactions ranging from disbelief to laughter. The comment section under a post sharing the rapper’s confession was packed with hilarious posts, with many questioning how such a bizarre phobia could have shaped his life. @OVOmembers tweeted,

“How come he’s not scared of Kendrick then,” drawing a humorous parallel to Kendrick Lamar’s height.

@DiBartoloJoseph took the comedy a step further by posting a GIF of a woman kicking a short person across the room with the caption,

“When Kodak sees a lil one 😂😂.”

The meme perfectly encapsulated the absurdity of the situation, painting an exaggerated image of Kodak’s reaction whenever he encounters someone below average height.

Even Kodak’s own rambling delivery in the TikTok video drew attention, with @DiamondMarkiii questioning his thought process, tweeting,

“Bro what is he even talking about for the 1 minute after 🤣.”

@MovieManKev chimed in,

“it made me more scared of pogo sticks TBH,” implying that Leprechaun left them with an irrational fear of jumping on pogo sticks—something Kodak may not have considered.
"that movie traumatized people for real," @JMerps95 commented, to perhaps support Kodak.

But the most cutting tweet came from @Machete_blanco writing,

“So is he scared of himself? lol.”

With Kodak Black often being the punchline of memes, it’s no surprise that this fear of little people due to a 90s B-list horror movie provided ample material for fans to poke fun at.


Kodak Black’s quirky confession: The backstory

Kodak Black’s strange confession took place during a TikTok live session where he shared his childhood fear of little people, confessing that Leprechaun traumatized him for life. The 1993 horror film, though not exactly a cinematic masterpiece, managed to spook Kodak at a young age. The movie itself was rated R for its gory content and dark humor, centering on a vengeful leprechaun hellbent on recovering his stolen pot of gold.

Even if the dread is a little out of the ordinary, Kodak's phobia may make more sense if you consider his early years. Kodak, whose actual name is Bill Kahan Kapri, was born and reared in Pompano Beach, Florida, and frequently muses on his difficult beginnings. Despite its seeming irrationality, fear frequently has childhood roots, and in Kodak's case, that dread has persisted long into adulthood.

Kodak Black's social media presence is filled with awkward confessions and unguarded moments, so this isn't the first time he's revealed odd glimpses into his life. Fans are frequently both amused and confused by his openness, wondering what precisely passes through his head.
