Kodak Black previously earned his GED back in 2018 while he was in jail for probation violations. He also gushed over that accomplishment and admitted even back then that he was immediately ready to seek more education.
“I just received my high school diploma today, and although it is a big accomplishment for me– I am yearning for more,” he reported five years ago. He gave a special shout-out to two of his teachers, who kept him on the right track during the process. “I appreciate my teachers, Mr. Williams and Mr. Ward, for those times when I would get frustrated you worked diligently to make sure I had the right materials and was ready for this big day.”
